Drugs smuggling + sales = money = real estate = major source of government revenue + GDP
High profile politicians and stakeholders rely off this interconnected drug network.
If you start the war on drugs, you pretty much deplete government resources (RCMP and judicial system), risk countless lives (officers) and fuck up the economy.
On the flipside, this is why nothing gets done with regards to homelessness and crime. It depletes too many resources and puts pressure on government officials to prosecute those responsible for selling drugs. This is not what they want.
