Drugs demand and supply would be nearly the same if we make recreational drugs legal. The right enlightenment would actually suppress the demand.
So why is the United States the leading power in War on Drugs? Yes, our usual suspects: the big banks are laundering hundreds of billions of dollars for the drug cartels.
When excluding the US citizens would somehow cut their influence over the politicians, there is another option. Give them a monopoly over legal drugs sales.
Tens of thousands of people were killed because of the War on Drugs. Drug users are usually incarcerated and don’t have clean criminal records so they can’t get a job and so on.
This is a vicious circle harming people all over the world.
