The business of prohibition is a big business. I don't even know where to start to calculate the amount of money that is earned in the defence and prosecution of cases involving illegal drugs. Would the legalization of these drugs hurt the business of law?

In California we have attornies practicing "Dispensary Law" and "420Law.com".    I think lawyers will always adapt and I am not worried about them going out of business.

i'm a lawyer.  if prohibition had one neck, you know i'd gladly break it. 

think about it.  i make a good living and i don't touch criminal law - let alone drug charges.  most of the money isn't on the criminal side: its on the civil side.
