La Lohan and Robert Downey Jr. must be crying their eyes out. But I agree with Jack, if they've seized that much, just think how much more is still getting through. While the increase in drug prices due to a (slightly) decreased supply may price some people out of using, does it also drive the hardcore addict to commit more crimes to get the money to feed their habit since the price is higher now. I wonder if this will affect the crack market by leading to more recutting and dilution of the cocaine or lead to more violence among the large scale dealers if drug supplies actually get tighter. |
