Record breaking seizures of increasing production.
Some consider that a win, I guess.

it is a huge win. Unless of course you are a criminal involved in the drug trade.

The amount of drugs that are caught are a very small amount compared to the amount produced and delivered to paying customers.

If you think that is a huge win, who am I to burst your bubble... LOL

The suppliers only increase their production to offset such losses. That is how the failed drug war really works.
And it keeps the prices up, so they make vast sums of money

wrong!

 

[windeguy]

wrong!

I am definitely correct. There is no shortage of drugs. Usage and production are up. Only low percentages of such drugs are caught each year.
I already provided the links and data in other threads you obviously missed. Oh well, people like their "own facts" instead of reality.

You need to get out Cabarete more than twice a year and I don't mean driving to Sosua. There is an entire world out there.

It has zero to with where I live or how often I travel, which isn't even a decent attempt at deflection on your part. It is the type of argument people like you start with when they have no back up for the discussion.

You need to understand facts, because you are certainly not BIG on them. Here is a starting point and there is much more you could discover if you want to see how wrong you are.

People like BIG would also call this a "win" when it just reflects how much the use of Fentanyl is increasing

Windy...let's assume that the hundreds of your posts on the" failure of the war on drugs" are correct and you see no stopping. So then what is the purpose of repeating this day in and day out? You must be in favor of wide scale drug distribution? You support killing young people with drugs? What drives you to almost wanting drugs to increase?

What are you trying to say all these years? You obviously don't have a solution or suggestion or hope. Then what's it? .

There is no war on drugs. That's a marketing narrative for the general public. If you don't know that the CIA assures the cartels stay in business, because the CIA gets paid and distributes its associates' cuts accordingly. The cartels of Colombia and Mexico are kept in line by the CIA, the cartels make the govt payrolls in those countries so the CIA controls those govts basically. If you missed this then you were born after genX or you have been asleep your whole life. No drugs move without the CIA.

America has spent over a trillion dollars fighting the war on drugs. 50 years later, drug use in the U.S. is climbing again.

Since 1971, America has spent over a trillion dollars enforcing its drug policies.

Perhaps if enough people look into the facts they will realize what a miserable failure the war on drugs has been.
Prohibition has never worked.

A trillion dollars spent and drug use is on the rise as the article above clearly points out. It is long past time to stop this failed war.
Legalize, regulate, and tax the drugs and us the proceeds to treat the addicts. THAT IS A BETTER METHOD.

(CIA involvement and promotion of drug movements notwithstanding.)

johne, you have obviously missed the posts I made about the alternative.
People like you and BIG are the reason the failed war continues with great harm to society as a result.
