Legal, but they have strict laws on alcohol.Who sells more booze in the united states?

It is also a lot easier to transport illicit drugs instead of alcohol
The GOP will never end the 'War on drugs', because most of them have swallowed the same Reefer Madness propaganda as their parents, despite it being built on lies of Anslinger and Hearst.
The same man that lied about why the Maine blew up, is one of the people who pushed the initial stages of bans on cannabis, from which all other 'war on drugs' policies were derived.
Then there is the fact the DoD has legal meth-like products for soldier stims, but never is open with the US public about it, and sometimes the DoD looks the other way on troops using literal meth or coke to keep them functional in some situations (happened in Iraq, from vet stories I heard, likely happened/happens elsewhere).
As well, the fact is every time the DEA catches a big cartel fish, they almost always turn out to be a CIA asset in the end.
Because the fact is, Mexico is a proxy war with both the CPP and Iranian assets, with different cartels answering/operating as proxies of different nations, and the money from 'our' cartels ends up in CIA slush funds many times.
I mean, thw standard medic treatment for us is here is some motrin, and drink some water.Yeah people often forget the US military does drugs all the time. Not surprising as drugs go WAYYYYY back in the military industry.
They do prescribe oxy and strong stuff for injuries ans surgeries.
Like my wisdom teeth removal I was given oxy.
And in combat, most of the people i know didn't do anything that would be considered coke or meth in uniform on dity...
