Production up, price down
Take a look at this fascinating chart at Drug War Rant. Using inflation-adjusted dollars, it shows the U.S. retail price for a gram of cocaine falling by 62% since 1990. Meanwhile, cocaine production from Columbia, as measured in metric tons, has risen 595% since 1990.
Falling prices, rising production. This is what our Government calls success in the war on drugs.
