Cocaine Inflation Erupts After U.S. Strikes On Caribbean Drug Boats
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Administrator Terry Cole told CBS News that President Trump's military strikes on suspected drug-running vessels in the Caribbean have helped drive a sharp increase in cocaine prices.
"Cocaine is getting more expensive. And I think what it is --- not only more expensive in the U.S., but we're seeing it become more expensive at first stops. So more expensive in Puerto Rico, more expensive in the Dominican, more expensive once it lands in Guatemala and Honduras and Central America," Cole said.
Cole said cocaine prices have surged 30% to 45% per kilogram because the strikes are disrupting the command-and-control networks that move drugs from South and Central America into the U.S. These trafficking pipelines have mainly fueled the nation's deadly drug epidemic, which now claims roughly 100,000 American lives each year.
I have been wondering about the price increase of cocaine due to intervention efforts for a while.
I have several students already going through detox. /s
There will be crazies withdrawing from this garbage.
I call that another win.
So... drug addicts not being addicts is anti-American in what way?
I fail to see the sensation in this post.
Yeah my sister covered herself in pots and pans due to drugs in the 70's but this is something new all of a sudden?
Cool you're jets, hug your family members and just calm the f*ck down already. Been there. Done that. Nothing new.
How can we not down vote the OP due to "nothing new"? Good God, I knew this when I was 13 years old.
