Human self-interest is a universal reality. How many hundreds of thousands of highly paid and underworked lawyers, cops, bureaucrats, prison guards, court employees, etc. would be out of work within a week if drugs were legalized.Never mind that they are the ones who claim the "authority" to write magical words on pieces of paper so that delusions of a political process solving the woes of human-kind can be clung to like a mother's skirts by a four-year-old.
