I can't imagine those programs, even if they were expanded, could possible cost more than what we're already spending on fighting the drug war in Mexico and the cost of housing so many offenders in jail.
Think of all the drug lords we'd be putting out of business by legalizing pot! Legalizing it may actually be the
only way to win the war on drugs.
