Title: How succesfull are costums in the war on drugs?
Post by: RogerPantade on September 07, 2013, 07:48 pm
It is just interesting to me and informative for everybody to see the numbers of succesfully confiscated shippings done by the costums world wide..

There's a bit of a problem with this... you'd have to import 100 times in order to give an accurate  answer, and there's nothing above 1 in 100 either...

A second flaw I would highlight, is that the success of the war on drugs is unrelated to seizures at borders... in fact, the larger the quantity of seizures then the higher the price of drugs, which in turn will increase the supply of drugs as people find out they can sell them for  more in the affected area, pushing the prices back down again.

Wtf is the succes  of the drug war?

1 in 25 shows that costums are totaly useless in finding and preventing drugguse  and thats their job to protect u from urself by takin ur stash and burning it without inhaling any.

I misread the topic and thought it said 'costumes'. For a moment I had this image in my mind of a guy in a Mickey Mouse costume demanding me to hand over my drugs. :-)
