But it's for the children as it keeps the parents of someone employed. Drugs have been the driving force in this country for many, many, years. Just think about the money involved in drug trafficking. So called wars, not counting real wars. Then you have LE, to include courts/prisons/ bail bond/s security company's, insurance company's every one of them, health care, product liability, an the list goes on an on. Remove the drug issue, lots of unemployed people over night.
Yep money rules out, over common sense every time. Although I have seen jurys put a hitch in the laws giddy up, a few times in my years. Always puts a smile on my face, even though it really piss's of the system players.
