"Drug czar John Walters portrayed a spike in cocaine prices during the first six months of 2007 as progress because a key drug-war goal is to squeeze supply and drive up prices to discourage use. DEA spokesman Steve Robertson said low marijuana prices, however, don't signal defeat.
'Every time we seize an amount of marijuana, no matter how small or large, that is a blow against these criminal organizations, and that deprives the organization of money. It is also one less opportunity for somebody to mess up their lives,' he said."
Right. What a smokescreen.

Ron Paul is against the Drug War, in case you're interested. He was on Meet the Press yesterday, and it was pretty good. A lot better than I expected. I wouldn't dream of voting for him, but he says a lot of interesting things. You can get the interview from U-Tube.
