BTW in case you still don't understand, just like alcohol prohibition gave millions to Al Capone and his gangster contemporaries, so drug prohibition gives millions to what would be two bit petty criminals these days.

And when alcohol prohibition ended so did organized rime. /sarcasm

Perhaps you are unaware of how powerful organized crime was during prohibition? The end of prohibition caused a significant decrease in organized crime. Drug prohibition is the new driver for organized crime. It is the new big money maker for criminals. Bigger than all their other rackets combined.
