Should we keep paying taxes to support all of above?

I'm not following your line of reasoning, so I can't answer your question.

No worries. What I was alluding to is the government spends lots of tax payer dollars in enforcing marijuana laws. I sat on a jury once when a 70 something person was arrested for possession of a couple ounces of marijuana in his home. So we spent lot of time in court and the perp was convicted. What made an impression on me was the court costs when you include the judge, bailiff, recorder, cops in court, lawyer given to defendant by government, prosecutors, jury time with stipend, cost of court building, and the cost of jailing the defendant. He had not attacked anyone, but was a bit of a jerk.
