I don't get the point...

Is this taking place so that the media (owned by powerful bankers) take the average person's attention off things like illegal wire tapping and an illegal war in Iraq or is it so that the politicians vying for prohibition can make even more money off steroids when the cost rises due to this prohibition?

You have to love that Prime Ministers in Canada are allowed to import 83 kilograms of cocaine on their family boat with no charges laid:

What better way for the drug dealing politicians to make money than to artificially raise the prices of drugs by making their prohibition even more legally enforced?
