Illegal drugs crate a huge underground economy where not only do they not pay taxes, they cost society heavily, and tens of billions per year go out the window. People will get high one way or another. But here are the status quo forces against legal drugs which make money on the current situation: - Pharma companies - Liquor companies - Economies on Mexican border and Florida - Military expenditures for War On Drugs - Prison companies and unions - Mexico - Colombia - Anti-drug non-profit organizations These forces want drugs to remain illegal for their own profits, whether they admit it or not.

The difference between Clinton and Rush is that Clinton said, "I feel your pain", while Rush said, "Heck, I don't even feel my own pain". While he was anesthetized he spouted over the airwaves that drug dealers and users should be sent up the river. This while he was euphoric on OxyContin? I think that Rush Limbaugh was all about himself. Spewing twisted conservative logic to his audience, while making a ton of money for herding the sheep. Somehow he was immune to his own words, as he lost the war on drugs himself. Which makes him a profiteering hypocrite. Orca
