Again, you make the argument for removal of most laws since folks will somehow “profit” from them.

Actually, the temperance movement did most of its good before Prohibition was enacted. Education and social pressure works - the blunt instrument of law serves primarily to enrich criminals.

Nonsense - nobody profits from laws against murder, rape, or theft, at least not to anywhere near the degree they do from laws against drugs.
