By the numbers - War on Some Drugs has failed

More proof the War on Some Drugs is causing more harm than good. Aaccording to a report released Tuesday, the price of white powder street drugs have reached a 20 year low.

The Washington Office on Latin America, citing the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy, said the street price of 2 grams of cocaine averaged $106 in the first half of 2003, down 14 percent from the previous year's average and the lowest price in 20 years [and] a gram of heroin, which cost $329 in 1981, sold for $60 in the first half of 2003.

An official at the Office of National Drug Control Policy confirmed the figures, which haven't been publicly released.

Prices don't go down when the supply diminishes so I leave you to draw the obvious conclusion on your own. Meanwhile, the ONDCP also claims that drug use has been reduced but would the black market be flooding the country with these drugs if there were no demand? It defies logic. Even more astounding is that so many non-consumers don't see through the discrepancies and still buy into Walter's propaganda to the tune of 40 billion wasted tax dollars.
