Hillary Clinton: We can’t legalize drugs because …

(By Ed Morrissey, Hot Air) - Why does the US pursue its “war on drugs” and a strict policy of prohibition? Is it a moral decision to limit the damage that powerful intoxicants do to the lives of American people? Concern over public safety? Worry that it will make ObamaCare even more expensive? Not exactly, according to an interview given by Hillary Clinton during a television interview in Mexico, as 'Reason TV' noticed:

Recently, during an interview with Mexico’s Televisa, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared that the United States can’t legalize drugs “because there is just too much money in it.”

Apparently, Clinton doesn’t understand that there’s so much money to be made selling illegal drugs precisely because drugs are illegal.

Reason.tv uses Clinton’s love of pant suits and Chardonnay to explain the economics of prohibition to the former presidential candidate.
