Ha, true. There's a theory that drug prohibition was brought in largely to stop the loss of police jobs that the end of alcohol prohibition would mean in America.
It was more that the agency and manpower had been created and were setting around looking for something to do. Also, it's specifically the campaign against marijuana.
