Illegal is defined by law and laws applied to a subset of people. What do you think the police does with illegal substances? Not confiscating them because "owning" it is illegal? No, the police does not take ownership the state does and the laws do not apply to the state. There is nothing out there in the world that is illegal for everyone to handle. not drugs, not nukes, not illegal media etc. someone has to have the right to handle it somehow.
