Which parties win more in the war on drugs even if most battles are lost? Hmm... let's see...
Firstly, government agencies that are in the frontline they get as they get hefty budgets to spend on whatever they find necessary to carry out their mission. Since they fight a war that means weapons, vehicles, communications and surveillance tech, etc. here profits go to industries that provide the goods, lobbyists, and corrupt government agents.
Secondly, by having no illegal cheap alternatives, people who like to get stoned will have to resort to legal drugs. Alcohol, and nicotine come to mind as being equally cheap, but not as effective. Also, prescription drugs, harder to get and a little more expensive, tough widely accept by society. No need to layout the parties who profit the most here.
In the end everyone else in society has something to loose by dealing with the aftermath of yet another hopeless war. Something much worse then educatating peers about the drug use and spending tax money in improving society as a whole.
We have to end this nonsense. But, here's the the trillion dollar question. How can we do it when so many people profit on this?
