It's only insanity to the people who think that the government is continuing this war on drugs with good intentions. The the people who buy into the tripe, it's sane to try to keep drugs out of kids hands..god forbid. And to people like me, its sane to think that making money is sane, and theres a LOT of people making a LOT of money off of this little war, so it makes sense why the gov't continues it. If tobacco hadn't been around for hundreds of years now, and a staple crop of early America, it would be just as illegal as cocaine. Speaking of which, last I heard, cocaine had an approximatley 17,000% profit margin for the big boys down south. Seventeen-thousand percent. Get your head around that and the answer to why drugs will always be around when illegal will smack you right in the nose.
