"I have no idea how popular it is anymore. I wonder that myself. "
Dea website says:
"Marijuana is the most widely abused and readily available illicit drug in the United States, with an estimated 11.5 million current users. At least one-third of the U.S. population has used marijuana sometime in their lives. "
1 metric ton = 35,274 ozs
if 1 chronic user = 1 oz/week = 52 oz/year
35,274ozs/ 52oz/yr = 678
1 ton= 678 chronic users year long supply
1600 tons/year interdicted by mexico = year supply for 1,084,800 chronic users.
1200 tons/year interdicted by USA= year supply for
813,600 chronic users.
11,500,000 users = nearly 17,ooo TONS being consumed while 2,800 tons gets interdicted.
The war on herb is for show, it is intimidation and terror
reigned down upon the citizenry to justify the existence
of the enforcers. It is neither a war meant to be won nor
is it waged to be won. Rather, its sole purpose is perpetual terror.
Great post! Thanks.
I guess it is still popular, maybe even more so. LOL!
They will never stamp it out. The commies can't even stamp it out. Our own country, using commie tactics can't stamp it out either.
All they do is bring misery to people's lives and make a lot of money for attorneys. Give the more cops they need to hire something to do.
