Well, I mean as cheap as possible so we can get it to as many people as possible as easily as possible.

I work in the fire service and we have recently delt with the remains of several meth labs that have torched off. Because of the solvents and other hazmats involved, they are difficult and dangerous to extingush, and an environmental nightmare to clean up. One of the sites, a small house, was completly destroyed and the environmental mitigation was nearly half a million dollars! (out of the taxpayers pocket of course, the tweakers were broke and in jail).

Isn't that the goal? Getting everyone cheaper drugs through legalization?

Isn't it interesting that no major federal elected official has ever been indicted for participating in a drug cartel?
All the corrupt officials are in Mexico and Colombia, right?
Guess again!

But federal data released Thursday showed that the price of cocaine on the street was lower in 2003 than when the program began. That's really gonna piss off all the crooked cops profiting off the contents of evidence lockers.
The War on Some Drugs is profitable to a lot of government lifers, on many levels, in many ways.
Most profitable War ever fought - they never want it to end. Until every "free" American is charged with something, I suppose.

You can give the government $1 or you can give them $100 billion and the result would be the same: money wasted.

Since 1992, "Past Month" cocaine use has been in the .7% to .8% range. Just in the last few years it climbed to around 1.0%.

I think that the demand for coke has decreased while the demand for meth has increased.If so, that's another example of how the WOD is just 'squeezing the balloon': restrict coke, and some even nastier stimulant gets a boost.
