Add in the costs of burglaries [to get money to buy high priced drugs]; the criminal culture of gangs that are enabled by the high price of drugs; the likelihood that many of you reading this post would have a criminal record if you had been caught smoking dope or whatever; the load the war on drugs has placed on the judicial system and the jails .., and the fact that the war on drugs will only be won when there is no cash and all of us citizens have our very own RFID embedded in our bodies.
The Harrison Act was unconstitutional and all the Federal laws and regulations since then have only made matters worse.
Burglaries aren't all about drugs.
