Mostly from the WOD people. Walters talks about the high potency mj menace and record seizures are taking place. If demand is rising and prices are not falling, it is an indication of an increasing supply.
The vast majority of the fall had already occured by 1989, when Dr. William J. Bennett became the first cabinet level drug czar."
Yes indeedy. Your point being?
The point being, drugs were deemed enough of a national menace in 1989 to begin a cabinet level effort to fight them. The WOD failed in its stated purpose to curb supply and demand.
I've been quoting a figure averaging 5% of the population using marijuana over the last 15 years. I would expect the supply to increase to keep up with the growth in population. If there was an explosive growth in supply, it hasn't been reflected in the number of users.
Perhaps the demand is being met?
An explosive supply? That's the info I'm looking for.
As I said, even if the usage were flat at 5%, an increased population would automatically increase the demand.
Baloney. Drug use was falling, and had been falling, since 1979. It even continued to fall from 1989 to 1993. It then stayed flat for another 8 years.
I don't see any significance, one way or the other, of the formation of a 1989 cabinet position.
