In yesterday's "Prohibition
and the Media" blog entry, DRCNet executive director David Borden urged
the Jackson, Mississippi paper "The Clarion-Ledger" to follow-up in two
weeks, a month, and again in two or three months, on the impact of a major
set of cocaine trafficking busts. Borden likened the seizure of drugs
before they hit the streets to the spoiling of produce before it reaches
the supermarket shelves -- in both cases the producers and distributors
anticipate the losses and compensate in order to have enough left for their
customers.
Earlier in the week "Prohibition
and the Media" linked to commentary by our friend Danny Kushlick of Britain's
Transform Drug Policy Foundation, who delivered a commentary for the BBC
on Wednesday as one side of a legalization debate. Danny predicted
that drugs would be legal and regulated by the year 2020.
