POPSIf you still believe drugs should be illegal, If you still believe drugs should be illegal, answer this question... Why do you believe it is good policy to punish me--and 20 million adult Americans like me--because I choose to use marijuana in the privacy of my own home? Who benefits from this policy and how do they benefit? * Over 300,000 nonviolent people lose their freedom to prison/jail. * Thousands of murders, assaults, and robberies caused by drug crimes. * $20 billion/year in law enforcement costs. * $10 billion/year in lost tax revenue (similar to alcohol tax). * $5 billion/year in property losses due to drug-related crimes. * $50 billion/year and 500,000 jobs lost because of no hemp industry. Total cost = $85 billion/year = $500 per taxpayer every year!

POPSIf you support keeping drugs illegal There more detail regarding summary headings at the site. Prohibition didn't work. There are Billions of dollars in trade generated by anti drug legislation. Because 'drug money' has been given negative associations, particularly regarding pharmaceutical companies tactics. anyone with 'money,' who wants to make money from drugs has to appear to have 'clean hands' Where does that money end up? The Primary responsibility of the DEA, is to make sure the money stays in the country, in 'safe' hands.
