Did legalization of alcohol reduce the size of government?

Inasmuch as all the tax money that was required to enforce prohibition and combat the crime it caused was then diverted to more appropriate and productive uses, or not spent at all, yes.

When alcohol was OK again, ATF had to have something to do.

We import hemp products from Canada instead of allowing our farmers to grow it.We have gangs fighting along our borders and murders going on, everyday because of the War on Drugs.

Why didn't they have to ammend the Constitution to make drugs illegal?
