Wooldridge THREE GROUPS LIKE PROHIBITION LAW As a Michigan police officer, I learned there were three major groups who support drug prohibition; Al Qaeda, drug dealers/makers and my profession - law enforcement. All three make huge amounts of money off the drug trade. Terrorists use the money to fly planes into buildings and blow up buses and trains. The drug dealers make big bucks in order to buy nice cars and a Swiss chalet. Police officers enjoy job security, exciting work and large overtime checks. Canada benefits because prohibition has resulted in less crime, less death, less disease and saved the taxpayers billions. Wait. Scratch that last sentence. Those reductions are what the politicians promised us, when we marched onto the prohibition road. Officer Howard J.
