Drugs are illegal for specifically the reason that criminals can make money off if them. This is just another reason that drugs should not be illegal. If drugs were not illegal criminals couldn’t make money off of them.
Exactly. They kill each other for the opportunity to sell drugs. Think about all the shootings in Chicago and Baltimore - nearly all of it due to the war on drugs. Now think of the tens of thousands killed in Mexico because they are fighting to supply the US drug pushers. The whole thing is a bad idea. We learned this lesson during Prohibition. Why are we repeating it again?
I am not sure “legalization” is the answer. What, all the pot shops will now start selling heroin and cocaine? Not sure I like that idea. But at least decriminalization. We can enforce laws against dealing to children, and/or adulterating the drugs, and driving under influence etc. But otherwise what two consenting adults do in privacy is their business not mine.
Your logic is faulty. Drugs are money makers because people buy them, seems demand is high given what I understand that crap costs. They are illegal because they harm society. Any further argument is moot.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did you get that line of reasoning from Planned Parenthood?
How about this: If abortions were not legal abortionists couldn’t make money off of them.
Anyway, there are lots of good reasons that drugs are regulated. I may not agree with all of them, but what you state is not even well stated, and it is not accurate.

Yeah, that’s the reason drugs are illegal. /s
