I don't even care about reducing the money spent, I just think there are far more efficient ways to spend the money.
Even if you don't think things like these targeted assassinations are a result of the marijuana trade, talking to people in the interior, they'd welcome a reduction in grow-op related violence.
Small changes have significant impacts. Removing something that isn't worth spending hundreds of millions of dollars from the criminal sphere could constitute one of those 'small' things.

not even close, I doubt the cops here spend a 10th of their budget on marijuana, hard drugs yes, weed no.
