Do you think the Government uses Pot as a tool to keep the “War on Drugs” going strong?

Question by hey… YOU!: Do you think the Government uses Pot as a tool to keep the “War on Drugs” going strong?
Basically I’m suggesting that the Government WANTS to keep pot illegal so those who buy and smoke pot will be in and around illegal environments that will encourage other substances. Secretly hoping the user will “succumb” so “The War On Drugs” (a 30 Billion Dollar War) can continue?
Imagine the damage the drug market would feel if all of their “pothead seedlings” were cut from that “soil of potential drug use”. Then the government wouldn’t be able to keep their ridiculous (War on Drugs) campaign going so strong.

What are your thoughts on this argument?

please note: This question is NOT about whether or not Pot should be legalized or what you like to eat when you have the munchies!
This question is about the controlling tactics of our government. What the Government does to continue following practices that maintain control over the public -and- maintain excuses to spend tax dollars on “PROXY CAUSES”

Please your thoughts, examples, and considerations “for” or “against” this argument are appreciated.

Plus i can go to work high on weed with no problem. Fully funtional. But no one can work drunk, or on meth or shrooms and whatnot.
I think they are focused too much on the New World Order.
