Going after the online sites is a simpler process and they want to keep them from gaining a foothold on the internet.

If drugs where legal
Way less street crime - MORE crime since the dopers would be actively seeking even MORE money for their dope
Less Street gangs - rigggggghhhht. They'd be fighting over who gets the extortion monies from what areas or turfs.
Less Murder - see above
No more billions being spent for nothing - no, it would be going to victim funds to pay for that sort of thing
No more putting people in jail for so long when they are not a danger to society, and while they are in jail burning up billions to support them
- NOT a danger? Okkkkkkk. Just what I want to confront going to the store, some dopehead with his hand out and when I refuse, he gets aggravated, then my old man gets aggravated and someone is going to get seriously hurt or dead. Namely the dopehead. My idea of fun, sitting and explaining how a worthless dopehead ended up with his head smashed on the pavement.
Orrrr, explain why the guy was breaking into our house and ended up riddled with bullets and dawg bites.
I was young and DUMB once too, but I grew up and saw where that road can (and usually DOES) lead. There is a reason they call it dope. I even went back to that world for a short time and then it dawned on me that I had sunk down even further the second time around. I stopped then and I'll never go back OR condone dope again.

what dope are you referring to? if it's weed your referring to then you seriously need to get your head checked.
and for thinking a person needs more jail time for selling a bong
that's one hell of a stupid idea.
