Well, the $40B is federal and state. So, you're essentially saying that if we eliminated the DEA and the entire ONDCP department, and states and cities cut back law enforcement spending, and we opened the borders and legalized all drugs, use would not increase one iota.

I don't give a rats a$$ if it does. Let the stupid kids die. Let the junkies die. It'll be noisy and messy for a few months but I'm tired of spending my money on a totally wasted effort. Drug use is self-correcting.
