Walter in Denver notes Why The Drug War Is Doomed To Fail
He points to a Rocky Mountain News article which pretty well indicates that people will always find a drug of choice, legal or illegal:
Colorado calls to the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center, and the type of drug involved, in the past two years
Drug 2002 2003 Marijuana 92 100 Heroin 14 24 Cocaine 109 137 Methamphetamine 71 82 Cough medicines/ dextromethorphan 229 275 Codeine 153 188 Painkillers/ oxycodone 602 809 Sleeping pills, tranquilizers/ benzodiazepines 1,012 1,212 Methadone 87 97 Morphine 150 208 Ethyl alcohol 270 248 Total calls 68,245 67,463
As Walter says: “Note that calls regarding cough medicine/dex each of the last two years outnumbered calls for marijuana, cocaine and heroin combined.”
