ICSDP: Expanded Efforts To Control Illegal Drugs Through Law Enforcement Not Working
Prices are down, purity has increased
The International Centre for Science in Drug Policy (ICSDP) has produced a report highly critical of the war on drugs. The report found that in the last twenty years the price for drugs has dramatically declined and purity has increased, despite greater levels of interdiction than at any point in history. The authors of the report suggest that problems related to recreational drug use should be treated as a public health issue instead of a matter for the criminal justice system.
