Huge coke bust reveals true cost of drug war By David J. Payne, The Daily NewsMarch 17, 2010 The scope of the large cocaine bust near Port Hardy underscores the dilemma of successfully policing the drug trade. Removing such a huge amount of product from the supply chain inevitably results in price increases for the remaining product. The consumers of cocaine are largely addicts, who must and will purchase it any price. Their source of funds is typically theft. It is only logical that if demand is unaffected by higher prices, the greater the incidence of theft. So society pays twice for these policing successes. Once for the actual cost of policing, and again for the incremental increase in lost possessions. David J. Payne Nanaimo © Copyright (c) Canwest News Service
