- eksith 12y agoSadly, they will switch to alternate means of sustenance. Many criminals already have E.G. Money laundering, kidnapping, murder for hire etc... The time to legalize was before it was possible for drug producers to purchase an entire country and impose tyranny upon its citizens. Those already in control will now do anything possible to maintain their profit streams.
- dllthomas 12y agoLikely, but that doesn't mean it's not a step in the right direction. If those "alternate means of sustenance" were lower risk or more profitable, they would be doing it now. Cutting off access to this profit stream will at least slow the rate at which they accumulate power. That doesn't make anything easy, but it stops making it more difficult.
