I clearly said primarily. An end to Prohibition leaves organized crime with a tiny fraction of its current revenues. And frees law enforcement to give extortion and kickbacks (along with actual crimes with actual victims) lots more attention.


Not all this money is drug money; a lot of the international money is the result of corruption or theft from the state.
