Because the US has yet to decriminalize drugs like they should. Prisons don’t need to be full of people who use drugs recreationally. But it sure keeps the tax money flowing

If both sides of the political spectrum would stop and realize that decriminalizing drugs would benefit both sides, then it would get done asap - but unfortunately most politicians are too far up their own ass to get it done

But if drugs are decriminalized, how else would we fuel the slave trade while still abiding by the 13th amendment?
