True or False… The US Government cant stop the “War on Drugs” ONLY because they would have to fire cops?

ending the war on drugs would save us billions in money from NOT funding the war on drugs anymore ALONG with also adding BILLIONS on top of that from Legalizing and taxing Marijuana
Now my question is THE ONLY REAL REASON THEY CANT STOP IS BECAUSE THEY WOULD EFFECTIVELY BE TAKING AWAY 80% OF “WORK” FROM COPS WHO WOULD NEED TO BE LET OFF DUE TO NOT BEING NEEDED WITHOUT THIS HUGE REdikULIOUS WAR ON DRUGS
Most lives that are destroyed in court are done so on NON VIOLENT offenders
while we DONT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR RAPIEST AND MURDERERS? THIS IS ASS-BACKWARDS.
April showers… they would not want a job where they cant impose their will over others.my father is a cop and its a trait most of them have in common. they could not be in a position where they cant be telling everyone what to do

Please don’t say drugs need to be stopped, or need to be legalized. This is not the place for that.

Yeah, it’d cause major economic damage to the DEA by putting them out of work. It’d cut deeply into Taliban/Al-Qaida money by taking the profits from their heroin manufacturing and putting it in the hands of government. Ending the War on Some Drugs would pretty much end the narco-based governments in South America, as they’d have no money from cocaine sales. Drug lords would lose their billions of dollars in profits every year.
The economic upside is that governments wouldn’t have to pay to arrest, transport, incarcerate, and put on trial drug users, and it’d pretty much destroy the black market in drugs. Gang wars would cease, as they’d have no reason to fight over turf. Police forces could concentrate funds on finding murderers and rapists instead of tracking down Grandma’s cannabis stash for her back pain.
Those who profit most from drugs being illegal are those who call for prohibition the most. The criminals are the ones who keep drugs illegal, and they should be thrown out on their @sses.

There’s a demand for drugs. The money is there waiting to be made. No matter how may high level dealers you bust there will be others who want to make the money.
There’s a demand for cheap labor. No matter how many fences, no matter how strict the rules, and no matter how many cops check for documentation, there will be people who come to the USA illegally to fill the positions that need to be filled.
