The War on Drugs is not about stopping people from getting high, it is about the payroll for those waging it. Follow the money! If it were really about money to pay government employees, then recreational narcotics would be legal and sold by a state monopoly at very profitable margins.

If the government was dealing the drugs, a different smaller set of government workers would be needed. This would greatly displease those currently receiving the Taxpayer's hard earned money.

I don't think so, because the money would then go to DIFFERENT government employees. People are protecting their own jobs, not trying to jus keep jobs in government.
