We keep Telling Them Prohibition Doesn't Work .. Now Meth is Back Because of ADD Meds

 It's simple prohibition doesn't work. 

The CDC Pain Guidelines for Family Practice physicians set off the opioid crisis. Causing pain patients to be cut off and left to suffer or turn to the street. 

Mexican cartels picked up the slack and now we have Fentanyl that's 50-100 times more potent than Morphine.

Many of these patients like the pain patients affected by the opioid crisis and cut off their medications will turn to the street. Sadly there is no quality control and who knows what they get when buying from drug dealers rather than their pharmacy.  

Now physicians are cutting patients off or refusing to prescribe ADD medications for patients who have done well on their medications for many years.

Again Mexican cartels will pick up the slack making tons of meth in days. Where I live they stopped a car with 90 Pounds of Meth, it was worth 3.9 million dollars. Another recent traffic stop netted 2200 pounds of meth in Phoenix. Big dent in the cartels business, right?

That 3.9 million works out to $43,333 a pound. One Mexican cartel meth lab produces 7 Tons Every 3 Days thats 14,000 pounds of meth every 3 days. 

That works out to $606,662,000 every 3 days. Multiply that by the number of meth labs the cartels have and you're talking billions of dollars. Only 10 labs would produce 6 billion dollars every 3 days, rounding it off it still works out to 600,000,000,000 that's six hundred billion dollars a year.... 

Now let's add all the profits from Fentanyl, Heroin, Cocaine, and Marijuana and see why we're loosing the war on drugs...
