    But what would we do with all the money we spend on the "drug War"? All the people who are employed by the various agencies would need to get other jobs, maybe concentrate on real crime? What would politicians rally against then?

    Q#1: Pay off our National Debt/Deficit. Might not kill it completely, but it'll help.

    Q#2: Wouldn't need those jobs. Time to find a REAL job. I hear there's a market for small business to take off out there.

    Q#3: Anti-Constitutional laws and agencies and foreign and domestic threats would be a good place to start and stop. :)
