Read research and analysis on Street Drugs: Price Declines and Increased Danger published by ICANEWS, a global research journal for emerging researchers.
The current state of street drugs, being less expensive and more dangerous, indicates a divergence from the stated goals of the 'war on drugs', which aimed to reduce substance abuse.
The “war on drugs” was initiated with the stated objective of reducing substance abuse. This reduction was to be achieved by strategies designed to elevate the cost of illicit substances and subsequently diminish consumer demand.
However, an observation indicates that, contrary to the initial objectives, street drugs have become both less expensive and more dangerous compared to previous periods.
