U.S. Drug War Face Difficulties From Mexico and Others
The editorial argues the United States cannot guarantee victory in the global drug war as Mexico and other producers supply cocaine marijuana and heroin to American markets. Despite seizures including 23.7 pounds of black tar heroin in Dallas five people were arrested and drug profits near 2 million linked to the haul. Authorities say Mexico remains the top source of marijuana and heroin, while producers such as Panama Belize Jamaica Thailand and Burma reduced flows. Colombia reports an 85 percent drop in cultivated marijuana in its north coast. The piece concludes that the goal of eradicating narcotics may never be achieved.
