Oh yeah.  Heroin makes FAR more money for our gubmint than marijuana ever will.  That's why there's such a big divide about the use of marijuana, whether medically or casually.  Sure, there's money in marijuana but not like the kind of money we're talking about with heroin.  Not even close.  Which is why we need to keep the "war" with Agfhanistan "going".  The money going to DOD is not for defense weapons as much as it is for the purchase of whole swathes of poppy field products.  Who do they think they're kidding anyway?
