I don't think you can compare a legitimate business publishing public accounting figures, operating within the law, subject to policy by elected officials with the illicit drug trade who's supply chains operate in the dark. These supply chains are probably responsible for thousands of deaths, human trafficking, and unfathomable suffering whose actors you have no possible way of mitigating their actions.
I grow weary of hearing this recurring argument that the relatively minor side effects of a free market being compared to pure evil.
