Why The US War On Drugs Never Ends

There are huge sectors within the US Military Industrial Complex that garner huge profits from the never-ending US War On Drugs. 

Think of the DHS which has the largest police force in the world:

Don't forget DHS' budget on immigration (illegal drugs and illegal immigration are two sides of the same corrupt coin):

NAFTA has bound the US and Mexican elite economically.  Would winning or stopping the War On Drugs destroy that relationship?

Meanwhile, who suffers all of the costs and consequences of such madness?
