Drug prohibition breeds police corruption and abuse, for the temptation to make drug profits in the black market is very strong.

Under current law -- driven by the Drug War -- police need only "probable cause" - before they can seize property of a 'suspected' drug dealer. This has become a major source of funds for law enforcement agencies as the value of property seized has soared into the hundreds of millions of dollars.
If there is no victim, how can there be a crime?
