This is about money and jobs for DEA. Essentially, we're pissing away our tax money to pay for DEA agents and their expensive toys, who, in turn, don't provide any real service. The burocratic overhead is one reason for sure but I do not think its the most importend one. I think the most importend one is that the politics does not want to admit that the ware wrong for 50 years. How would that look if the democrats came out with legal drug policys? Tell people X for 50 years and then switch to telling them (not X). The next reason is the ignorance of the people, 50 years of anti-drug propaganda had a effect. This kind of propaganda becomes self-enforcing after a while. Many people actually belive all that crap that is said about drugs.
