Sure. I'm sure it has expanded the IRS, The TSA, the DHS, and every other government organization that has grown far beyond it's original function. To you, the "war on drugs" is the only thing growing the government, but to people who can see deeper and longer, it is but merely one more excuse for growing the government.
The government is growing with or without the war on drugs, and the quicker you people figure out that it's going to grow anyway, the quicker you can start seeing things clearly.
Beyond that, why not put the blame on the people who insist on using dope? If they weren't insisting on using it, the law enforcement agencies wouldn't be able to use that as an excuse for growing, now would they?
As I've pointed out innumerable times, it is the Libertarians that cause the growth of government, not Conservatives. Libertarians got to insist on people doing things they shouldn't be doing, and taxpayers have to come along and pick up the pieces. This is how you GET the government involved. By making messes that someone else has to come along and clean up.
Now you want government to kill people selling pot?
It wouldn't upset me greatly, but I think they ought to concentrate on the sellers of Opium, Meth and Cocaine first.

LOL....

Obviously, you stated you want them killed.
I believe you.
They're an integral part of the equation - but the issue is not "blame" but what is easier to change: government policy or individuals' choices?
