$10 billion. That is the widely accepted figure our government estimates is lost each year from tobacco trafficking schemes. With few federal resources dedicated to stop this fraud, the U.S. taxpayer continues to foot the bill. The money that should be going into state coffers via taxes is instead going to criminals, some with ties to terrorists, drug cartels, and violent street gangs.

Cocaine use and a host of problems associated with the drug have been declining steadily in the United States in recent years – with at least a 40 percent drop in people using cocaine since 2006.

“I’ve never seen such a rapid decline for such an addictive drug,” says Peter Reuter, a public-policy professor and drug-economy expert at the University of Maryland in College Park.

Some supply-side factors, as well as demand-side issues, have contributed to the downward trend, according to medical, academic, and drug-policy experts.

A US-Colombian partnership has contributed to a 44 percent drop in the capacity for pure cocaine production in the Andean region since 2001, according to July’s annual estimate by the White House’s Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). In addition, interceptions along trafficking routes by the Coast Guard and Defense Department have decreased the amount of cocaine entering the country, the ONDCP reports.

Still, opinions vary when it comes to interpreting the overall cocaine trend and the possible reasons for it. How much is there to celebrate, some ask, given the broader context of illicit drug use in the US – which has risen slightly in recent years, largely because of a rise in the use of marijuana (see accompanying chart).

The 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which is based on representative samples of people 12 and older, gives some indicators of cocaine’s decline:

• In 2011, there were 1.4 million cocaine users, about 0.5 percent of the population – down from 2.4 million (1 percent) in 2006.

• The number who first tried cocaine in the prior year dropped from 1 million in 2002 to 670,000 in 2011.

• The number who abused or were dependent on cocaine declined from 1.7 million in 2006 to 0.8 million in 2011.

The ONDCP also noted these encouraging national statistics in releasing its annual estimate this month:

• A 65 percent drop in the rate of people testing positive for cocaine in the workplace (from 72 out of every 10,000 tested in 2006 to 25 in 2012).

• A 44 percent drop in overdose deaths related to cocaine (from 7,448 in 2006 to 4,183 in 2010).

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health, several experts note, is based on interviews and therefore may understate usage levels. It also doesn’t capture data from homeless or incarcerated people.

However, data collected by ONDCP for the Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring program show a significant decline in the percentage of male arrestees found to have cocaine in their systems through drug tests. For instance, half of the arrestees in Chicago had taken cocaine in 2000, but only 19 percent had done so in 2012.

At a recent meeting of epidemiologists who track drug trends in 21 regions across the US for the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), “most agreed cocaine use is down,” along with related issues such as deaths and addictions, says Jane Maxwell, a senior research scientist at the School of Social Work at the University of Texas, Austin. “But the bottom line is, people are still being hurt by cocaine.”

Some experts attribute the recent drop in US consumption largely to rising prices and shifts in the market (with an increasing share of cocaine going to Europe and emerging markets around the globe). In January 2007, the average price per pure gram was $98; between 2008 and 2012, it ranged from $175 to $195, according to national Drug Enforcement Administration data reported by Ms. Maxwell.

Higher prices, combined with a decline in purity of the cocaine available in the US (which leads to less-intense effects), have led many cocaine users to shift to other drugs, Maxwell says. In Texas, for instance, it appears some are turning to methamphetamines coming out of Mexico. Maxwell also worries there will be more injuries related to cocaine users injecting “bath salts,” a new wave of synthetic drugs, to intensify their highs.

Another line of explanation is that drugs go in and out of style over the years and “it probably has very little to do with successes or failures with interdiction and source control,” says Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance in New York City, which advocates reforming drug-control policies.

After the peak of the crack cocaine crisis in the early 1990s, crack became “uncool” even among drug users, Mr. Nadelmann says. Anecdotally, he’s heard recently that cocaine is regaining popularity in artsy crowds.

As the economy rebounds, more Americans may turn again to cocaine, often considered “the champagne of street drugs,” says James Hall, an epidemiologist at the Center for Applied Research on Substance Use and Health Disparities at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Fla., and a member of the NIDA tracking group.

Unlike most other regions, southern Florida has seen cocaine-related emergency-room visits rise sharply in the past several years – perhaps an indicator that cocaine will soon be on the rise again nationwide, Mr. Hall says. In the 1970s, Miami was a harbinger of the original cocaine epidemic.

Despite a decline in cocaine use, there’s a great deal of cause for concern about other trends in drug use, Hall and others say.

“What has emerged in prescription drug abuse, particularly prescription opioids, is the most dangerous, the most addictive, and the most deadly drug problem of our lifetime,” Hall says. Even though the number of illegal prescription drug users has declined in the past few years, he says, the problems are severe.

Whatever the drug, “the real front line in these epidemics is treatment,” Hall says.

In his budget request for fiscal year 2014, President Obama asked for $1.4 billion more for treatment than was enacted in FY 2012. It’s the largest requested increase in at least two decades, says Rafael Lemaitre, ONDCP spokesman.

Overall progress in the fight against drugs is visible, Mr. Lemaitre says, if one looks back to the peak of 1979, when roughly 14 percent of Americans reported using illicit drugs. The survey methodologies have changed slightly since then, so it is difficult to compare numbers precisely, but today, the figure is just under 9 percent.

Huff Post | Here Are All The People Who Have Died From A Marijuana Overdose
Last week, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the federal government wouldn't intervene as Colorado and Washington state implement plans for a system of legalized marijuana for adults. The decision opened the floodgates for other states to pursue similar legalization efforts and outraged police groups apparently not excited to see a shift away from the failed war on drugs.

Uruguay legalises production and sale of cannabis

.

The world's most far-reaching cannabis law has been passed by the Uruguayan parliament, opening the way for the state to regulate the production, distribution, sale and consumption of the planet's favourite illegal drug.

The law, effective from next year, will: allow registered users to buy up to 40g of marijuana a month from a chemist's; registered growers to keep up to six plants; and cannabis clubs to have up to 45 members and cultivate as many as 99 plants.

A government-run cannabis institute will set the price – initially likely to be close to the current black market rate of $1 a gramme – and monitor the impact of the programme, which aims to bring the industry under state control and push illegal traffickers out of business.

Julio Bango, one of the politicians who helped draft the bill, said it would probably be four months until the first harvest of legal cannabis, by which time the government would have a licensing system in place. "We know this has generated an international debate and we hope it brings another element to discussions about a model [the war on drugs] that has totally failed and that has generated the opposite results from what it set out to achieve."

..

"We are asking the world to help us with this experience, which will allow the adoption of a social and political experiment to face a serious problem – drug trafficking," he said earlier this month. "The effects of drug trafficking are worse than those of the drugs themselves."

World's first state-licensed marijuana retailers open doors in Colorado - Keith Coffman, Reuters, 1 January 2014
http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/ ... 0K20140101


(Reuters) - The world's first state-licensed marijuana retailers legally permitted to sell pot for recreational use opened for business in Colorado on Wednesday with long lines of customers, marking a new chapter in America's drug culture.
Roughly three dozen former medical marijuana dispensaries newly cleared by state regulators to sell pot to consumers interested in nothing more than its mind- and mood-altering properties began welcoming customers as early as 8 a.m. MST (1500 GMT).

Hundreds of patrons, some from distant states and many huddling outside in the bitter cold and snow for hours, cued up to be among the first buyers.

"This is an historic moment," Jacob Elliott, 31, a defense contractor from Leesburg, Virginia, near Washington, D.C., said in line outside the 3D Cannabis Center in Denver. "I never thought it would happen."

The highly-anticipated New Year's Day opening launched an unprecedented commercial cannabis market that Colorado officials expect will ultimately gross $578 million in annual revenues, including $67 million in tax receipts for the state. ...


Thank you, people of Colorado!

Colorado gets high on pot revenue, marijuana tourists - Joyce Napier, CBC News, 7 March 2014
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/colorado-g ... -1.2564410

The pushers are out, the entrepreneurs are in, and so are the marijuana-infused bath salts


You may have read about it, you may have heard it on the news, or seen it on Facebook.


But believe me, nothing prepares you for Grandma cookies baked in "cannabutter," the pot smokers' smoking bus tour, the world of "vaping" (a soccer mom favourite, apparently) and the marijuana-infused chocolate dips, bath salts, sodas and, yes, sour patch gummy bears. All are part of Denver's ode to pot.


Denver now has more marijuana stores than Starbucks coffee shops.

Since New Year's Day, when marijuana was legalized in Colorado, this city has seemed to exist outside of America.


Colorado took the jump — the first of two states, Washington the other, to legalize recreational marijuana — the debate is now over.


It's the new reality here: highly (pardon me) regulated, and surprisingly disciplined, and it seems to be working just fine, for now.


Colorado marijuana growers and sellers, who could only cater to medical marijuana users before Jan. 1, can now sell to anyone 21 years and over with a valid ID.


Residents can buy one ounce at a time, visitors are limited to a quarter ounce. All products are imprinted with bar codes, and are electronically traceable.


Don't try to smoke it in a public place, you'll get a fine.


And no, you can't take it with you when you leave the state. All the marijuana has to be grown, sold and bought in Colorado.


The green rush

The new law is manna for people like Toni Fox, owner of the 3D Cannabis Centre.


She made $1,000 a day in sales when she was catering to medical marijuana users. Now that she's gone recreational, she believes that by the fall, she'll be making $100,000 a day.

The new gold rush in Colorado is decidedly green.


That first day drew huge lineups, three hours long, at dispensaries — like the ones at Apple stores on the day a new iPhone comes out.


No one whined. Many of those waiting in line that freezing Colorado winter morning — a dry cold, as they say here — were going to buy legal pot for the first time in their lives. The excitement kept them warm


That same excitement, and the thrill of not having to hide your pot away, is attracting many Americans to Denver nowadays, a kind of spillover tourist boom.

Matt Brown is the co-founder of My 4/20 Tours, "the first legal marijuana tourism company in North America." He has thousands on his waiting list, he says.


He gets clients like Mauricio and Kim, from El Paso, Tex. They came to Denver for a total marijuana weekend. Pot à gogo, without the guilt trip. They even get to attend a marijuana cooking class.


"It's like being in Amsterdam without having to take a plane," Mauricio says.


Pot tourists can eat it, smoke it, drink it, chew it, bathe in it, inhale it from a battery-powered vaporizer, and even rub it in.


They can visit grow-ops and dispensaries where jars of marijuana are neatly arranged by strains.


Try the candies


In Denver, you can buy some "Juicy Fruit" and "Purple Kush" and "Gigabud" as well as all sorts of spreadables, chewables and edibles. That's where the money is.


Smoking is out. Denver has a Clean Air Act that forbids smoking in public places, and that includes joints, of course. So eating marijuana-laced cookies, cakes and candies is the thing now.


Back at Love's Oven, for instance, one of many budding marijuana bakeries, business is up more than 1,000 per cent. Hope, the executive chef, can't bake them fast enough.


Her best-seller? The ginger cookie that "will make you happy for a long time."


Yesterday's pushers are today's marijuana entrepreneurs: promoters, sellers growers and bakers. You can find them sipping martinis on a Friday evening at the casually chic Space Gallery for a "Threesome with Mary Jane" soirée, at $120 a pop for food, open bar and a nearby limo bus to smoke your pot.


It's a new world. It is also a big social issue and so it has become a specialty beat for the Denver Post. The state's largest daily now has a website dedicated to marijuana, The Cannabist, with its own editor in chief and pot critics.


The Colorado experiment, as it's called, looks to be quite the success so far. The state might even make as much as $150 million this year in marijuana taxes (almost double previous estimates). Much of that money will be by law reinvested in schools and education.


It's early days, of course, but there has been no reported increase in crime or traffic accidents.


One imponderable, though: how to test for driving under the influence of marijuana?


And then there is the banking issue.


Banks are still nervous about accepting drug profits — it's still a crime federally here in the U.S. — although Washington has said it won't prosecute in states where pot is legal.


Many dispensaries store their money in safes. But one can bet that, as profits grow, banks will happily join the green rush.





I've noticed a curious thing about the evolution of articles which describe stories that talk about marijuana. Formerly all articles in the mainstream press portrayed marijuana leaf only, whereas from the time of the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington, they now frequently show bud.


Imagine if all stories about apples showed only apple tree *leaves*, and never showed an actual apple. This is exactly equivalent to what most readers got to see before this year.

Cannibidoids do have strong evidence as effective anti-cancer agents. Much of the research has been done in Spain, where cannibinoids are permitted to be properly researched and the scientific community is not purchased by industry.

Smoking won't do it though. They will need to be compounded and ingested.

Heroin Users in U.S. 90% White, Live Outside Urban Areas
The image of the heroin user is changing, according to researchers who say the great majority are now white men and women who mostly live outside the cities.

Their study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, tracked data from almost 2,800 heroin users and found that first-time users are now generally older than those who began taking the drug in the 1960s. About 90 percent are white, according to the study, and 75 percent now live in non-urban areas.

The research also confirmed a link between the rise of opioid abuse and the growing use of heroin that had been noted in earlier studies. Heroin use has jumped 80 percent to 669,000 users from 2007 to 2012, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, after being relatively stable since 2000.

Heroin “is not confined to inner-city areas,” said Theodore Cicero, the lead author and vice chairman for research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. “It’s now a main stream problem.”

The uptick in usage is attributed to users waning off of prescription opioids and turning to heroin because it’s cheaper and more readily accessible than prescription drugs, the researchers said in their report.

Maureen Dowd's marijuana-induced freak out - Anthony Zurcher, BBC News, 4 June 2014
http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27704837


Maureen Dowd travelled to Colorado in January, ate a bit too much of a marijuana-laced chocolate bar and proceeded to have a Valley-of-the-Dolls-style meltdown in her hotel room.

Here's how she describes the experience in her Wednesday New York Times column:
I felt a scary shudder go through my body and brain. I barely made it from the desk to the bed, where I lay curled up in a hallucinatory state for the next eight hours. I was thirsty but couldn't move to get water. Or even turn off the lights. I was panting and paranoid, sure that when the room-service waiter knocked and I didn't answer, he'd call the police and have me arrested for being unable to handle my candy.

I strained to remember where I was or even what I was wearing, touching my green corduroy jeans and staring at the exposed-brick wall. As my paranoia deepened, I became convinced that I had died and no one was telling me.

[...]


Brooks was mercilessly mocked for that column - and Dowd is getting a similar reception. There's just something so tempting about imagining straight-laced paper-of-record columnists high as kites.

"Honestly, I assumed Dowd was always curled up in a hallucinatory state while writing her columns," tweets Circa editor Anthony De Rosa.

Thanks for the post. I'm convinced that pot will get my finances high as a kite some day, but I don't see processing, distribution and retail sectors coming into play yet.

I see those as better opportunities for the retail investor than the growing or vaping sectors. More stability and they should be profitable if the investor can pick the ones who can survive the inevitable regulatory clampdown and taxation.

It's only fair that law enforces have something useful to do. After alcohol, soft drugs, hard drugs and all fire arms are decriminalized there are always enough bastard assholes running around to chase. Or just send them to the Meddle East again, who cares!
