Comments on: Despite Drug War, Cocaine Purer, Cheaper

Drug's Prices Have Dropped From $600 Per Gram In 1981 To $135 Despite Nearly $5 Billion Spent By U.S.

The government, the CIA, and the DEA run the drug trade, and their operatives distribute almost all of the cocaine and heroin that comes into this country. There's countless documentation on this, they kicked into high gear with the Iran Contra drug and gun running ***. Ollie North and the boys are still in big business, there's countless books, movies, and god knows what else that documents the whole operation. Wake up fools, and if you're using this stuff, you really are funding terrorists, terrorists like the bush crime family and ollie north, and the clinton crime family.

The government needs to take over distributing the drugs. Hand out a prepackaged amount for a price and charge a tax on it like they do cigarettes and alcohol. They might make enough money to balance the budget and have lots left over. We might even benefit in that the personal income tax could be abolished. If people are going to use drugs anyway, they might as well help the rest of us out. Some of the tax money could go to pull Social Security out of the hole that everyone in the government says it is in. C'mon Congress - lets get moving on this!

Maybe we should put the oil companies in charge of cocaine and the drug cartels in charge of gasoline.

LOVED IT...

SO TRUE..

I REALLY DON'T HAVE A STRONG OPINION ON THE DRUG WAR. I'M SURE IT IS KEEPING PEOPLE EMPLOYED HERE IN THE USA INSTEAD OF OFFSHORING. AND LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL LOCALES THEY GET TO WORK AT... TROPICAL PARADISE

I believe that everyone here has heard of "prohibition"? It was a ten year social experiment that proved people will support what they want. Why do these people refuse to learn from History? Every new politician thinks they've got it all figured out, but in the end people like to get high. DOH!!!!!

It amazes me how there is so much concern about what our kids are eatting in the schools and their weight to the point of these kids not even wanting to eat at school anymore because the food is horrible and we are not aloud to send any products for school functions if the first ingredient contains sugar but at school these kids are able to purchase any type of drugs from classmates and the concern is first ingredient containing sugar please people sugar is the last of our worries why not put the concern where it belongs I don't know about anyone elses school but i do know at ours 1 out of 5 students are not on drugs where is the concern for the 4 students that are on drugs that they purchased at school and what that first ingredient might contain so where is all this money going for this war on drugs it sure isn't making a difference in our schools for our kids. They take out the coke machines because it contains to much sugar and that is not healthy for our school kids and leave the cocaine.

Pay ATTENTION!! The Gram of Coke referred to in the Article is NOT street grade Coke, which may sell for between $75 - $95.

Florible has the purest and cheapest blow by far. 100% pure runs $50 a gram. Florible not a good state to live if you can't resist the nose candy.........

This is GREAT news for lars008!

If some idiot wants to snort poison up his nose, I don't have a problem with it. Let's put those billions of dollars elsewhere... like Social Security and Medicare -- and take care of people who led decent, hard-working, productive lives.

Maybe if we had a war on legal drugs they would get purer and cheaper, too.

I'm just sayin....

The war on drugs is incredibly expensive. The biggest expense is putting and keeping people in jail during the otherwise most productive times of their lives.
