It'll never happen. Eventhough south american druglords and terrorist groups make their money off of illegal drugs, legalization will never be considered. This is because lots of other people make their livelihoods off of it too.

Realistically, I think this picture is lowballing the money spent. I don't see any federal LEOs in the pic.
I don’t see the cost of their benefits, equipment, SUVs, office space or operating expenses included in the pic either.
