Drugs Are Getting Cheaper

An unintended downside of the economic recession. Less demand, same supply = cheaper drugs!

The prices of hard drugs like heroin and cocaine have been declining for two decades, despite billions of drug war dollars spent to restrict supply. Then there’s this headline today on CNN.com:

Heroin cheaper than six-pack of beer

Don’t worry though. The drug war is totally working.
