We have another great video from Reason TV, which mocks Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for stating that drug legalization is a bad 
idea because “there is just too much money in it.”
The video explains that government-imposed prohibition is what makes the drug market so lucrative, just as alcohol prohibition lined the pockets of people like Al Capone in the 1920s.
The Secretary of State’s statement is absurd, but perhaps not too surprising since people from this Administration routinely say preposterous things (such as claiming that a giant new entitlement program will reduce red ink and asserting that nobody’s taxes have been increased).
What she said was definitely absurd. She went against the legalization of drugs because there is too much money in it. Then where is the logic? We ought to legalize it so that the government can generate bigger income from it.
Oh, that was really dumb.

[...] Mrs. Clinton said we can’t end the War on Drugs because “there is just too much money in it,” apparently oblivious to the fact that high profits for the cartels only exist because of criminalization. [...]
