Quote by George Soros
Who most benefits from keeping marijuana illegal? The greatest beneficiaries are the major criminal organizations in Mexico and elsewhere that earn billions of dollars annually from this illicit trade - and who would rapidly lose their competitive advantage if marijuana were a legal commodity.
Summary
This quote suggests that the major criminal organizations, primarily in Mexico and other regions, benefit the most from the prohibition of marijuana. These organizations make significant profits running an illicit trade, and if marijuana was legalized, they would lose their market dominance and advantage over legal businesses. Therefore, the quote implies that these criminal organizations have a vested interest in keeping marijuana illegal to continue reaping substantial financial gains.
