Maybe impossible is not the right word. Legalising the herb would 
automatically do that. Okay that is a simplification and a lot of 
criminals would still be involved at the start as they have the networks.

There is a lot of truth in that. They do not want to be seen to legalise 
a substance that they have been decrying for decades. I believe that 
there are several international treaties controlling the use of drugs 
and they would need to be revoked in case the wrath of the UN comes down 
on them.

Indeed it is.
