Success and Failure in the US-Mexico War on Drugs

Illegal narcotics represent a market of US $ 60 billion and this year alone the state and federal governments will spend about $ 20 billion each to narrow the market. Amounts involved in drug trafficking are dramatically expanding due to the ban and systematic corruption and violence are inevitable. Illegal drug trafficking is a complex international network and participating countries are not limited to a single economic function, but one relationship is clear: Mexico is a channel for mass drugs to enter the United States.

Firstly, the "drug war" that existed for over 40 years failed and definitely destroyed Mexico completely. As a result, the United States accounted for a quarter of the world's prison population and destroy countless families. Despite myriad negative outcomes, it is widely endorsed by our leaders, 82% of Americans call it a failure, 67% pay more attention to treatment than the prosecution by the government I say it should. The following very simple problem can be solved by slightly adjusting the priority at night. This is a very expensive tuition and medical expenses. Likewise, there is no need for investigation, discussion or CBO report on these. There are a lot of experiments - IRL. It is known as all the other developed countries on Earth and they have proved the medical activities of free universities and single payers.

Mexico's domestic drug use rate was low, but after the Second World War, Mexican cannabis and poppy producers became an important place for drug supply. Since the 1960s and the 1970s Mexican drug trade has reached an amazing level due to US drug demand. Cultivation of Mexican psychoactive ingredients and its superior location - connecting North America and Central America and the Caribbean, and sharing the 2,000 mile border with the US - is the ideal passage of drugs in other parts of the West It is getting. The hemisphere and the world Mexico carried out a small, unorganized anti-narcotic campaign in the late 1940s, but the beginning of the worldwide drug warfare in 1971 showed a major change in its drug control and enforcement policy. The government began using the US supply management model, advice and aid to reduce domestic drug planting

Three major influences of war on drugs stand out. First of all, for that part, this is a failure. The obvious goal is to reduce drug use and trafficking. Narcotic policy analysts often use drug prices as a measure of the effectiveness of law enforcement and should be more expensive if it is more difficult to find drugs. As the risk of trading increases and the number of drugs decreases rapidly, the land price of cocaine, a symbolic medicine of war, should rise, but the price will go down. The arresting and street sweeping strategies of many cities that support a rigid compulsory imprisonment decision should eliminate narcotics traffickers and make it harder to find drugs, but it is not the case. Most analysts and many police officers believe that in most cases arrested street dealers will be replaced by other people who are trying to risk it in order to earn income not available to the poor. Finally, there is no evidence that crime management in the United States has reduced the level of drug use.
