Drug laws in certain countries

[Questionable]

Okay, so the drug prohibition in America serves the purpose of allow big pharmacies to keep their monopoly on certain medicines, and feeding the prison-industrial complex. But if it's such a huge profit-maker for capitalists, why isn't the same policy enacted in every capitalist country? Many European countries have extremely lax drug laws. Is it because the forces of labor are stronger in those countries?

Because this is America and we're #1, baby!

DuPont and Pfizer started out in the US. The whole reefer madness hysteria also started here, so it makes sense that the US would be the most lastingly effected by it.

I also remember reading about how a while back, the US was putting pressure on a South American country (forget which one) to make pot illegal, else they wouldn't get any foreign aid. Uncle Sam wouldn't mind grass being illegal everywhere.
