The primary profit comes from smuggling cocaine, marijuana, opiates. We can legalize marijuana, we can decriminalize opiates which will save us money spent on police, courts, lawyers, jails. And will save suffering by families. Maybe we should decriminalize cocaine too.

We can bankrupt drug dealers which will reduce corruption.
