Aye, the title even runs counter to their opening paragraph: At best, they won the War on Cocaine. But really, people just found other, more accessible drugs. Who wants to pay $100/g for a drug that has been branded as "hardcore" for all your life? Especially when those dollars could buy you a kilo of this month's new psychedelic stimulant that has no slang name nor any documented deaths.I really don't understand the title of this article.
These include the continued rise in abuse of prescription drugs (second only to marijuana in popularity), the increase in the production of heroin in Mexico and its availability in the U.S., and the emergence of synthetic designer drugs.
