read up on the Yakuza in Japan - they're in deep with the right-wing of the govt
keep saying this about the whole drug war, i almost guarntee organzied crime is helping fund the anti-drug politicians. they get to keep making crazy profits off on the illegal drugs, and the police keep getting more funding to "try" to catch them.
the sheer number of people benefiting from keeping the drug war going is staggering, the only ones who lose are the small dealers and users the cops, the criminals, and the prisons are more than happy to keep the status quo going as long as they can
