So, is the cost of enforcement worth it?

[count-your-change]

I don't know how to answer that question, do you measure the costs against the lives ruined by meth use or against some snot nosed kid with a joint?

How can the cost of hundreds of thousands of pounds of drugs being used every year be calculated?

America has a schizophrenic attitude about drug use. Lots of money to kick down doors but an unwillingness to force treatment.

In my view the drug cartels are just as much terrorists as anyone high-jacking airplanes and look what the U.S. has spent warring against them and their cohort.

It is if you work for the gubmint in the ‘drug enforcement industry’.

Those asset seizures for fun & profit are great !
