The drug war relies on those same rules, and you can find the same people pushing the drug war, anti-smoking campaigns, MADD, nationalized health care, and gun control. It's a package deal, if you buy the premise you buy the bit.
If taxes and regulations become unreasonable, then the market simply goes underground. And terrorists and organized criminals will reap the profits, as they have been doing for years from this ill-conceived social experiment called the War on Drugs.
