Question by STRAUSSIAN: Why are cocaine, meth, and heroin prices still so low on America’s streets?
Why the heck are we paying tens of billions of taxpayer dollars every single year to a bunch of “law enforcement agencies” like the DEA that apparently have no idea how to do their own jobs?

Why are America’s “anti-drug agencies” so horrendously incompetent and ineffective at fighting drugs?

Is it time for serious reform? Should we look for ways to end the drug war altogether, and treat addiction like a medical crisis?

Do agents at places like the DEA feel ashamed of themselves for being so incompetent?
