In 1997 my college micro economics professor used the cocaine trade as an example of a mature economy.

He finished the lecture with, "And that's why there's no way in hell the 'War on Drugs' can possibly succeed, as they're doing it. Math doesn't lie."
"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."

Please tell me someone explained drug pricing to him Catt.

As for the war on drugs, it could have been won, but they didn't want to win.

They honestly had two ways to win:
1. Invade other countries. Kill the fuck out of drug cartels. Death penalty for drug offenders here.
2. Get into the drug business and undercut all the cartels.

Geez you'd have to literally be the most powerful nation on earth to do that, though.

Give Ohio an asterisk. We legalized it, and even made it a constitutional right, but the republicans are holding it up with regulatory bullshit. They've literally said "we don't care what the people want, we know what's good for them."

They're just trying to figure out how they're going to get a cut.
