When Nixon waged his “War on Drugs” about 75 percent of funding went to education and treatment with 25 percent going to interdiction. It's no surprise that today that ratio is reversed. Law enforcement has greater lobbying power than the drug/alcohol treatment industry. The “drug war” is a great funding boom for police at all levels of government. Why would they ever want it to end?

"The “drug war” is a great funding boom for police at all levels of government. Why would they ever want it to end?"You are correct, that is why I will predict that Washington and Colorado, will again make Pot illegal, unless other states follow suite soon.
It is all about dollars, these states will lose a lot of federal dollars for funding their police forces.
