We do know its in the billions. It's the biggggest industry in the world. So I guess the Border Agents better lay off actually catching somebody or they will follow the other 3 to jail.

It is suggested that illicit cocaine production was recently estimated at 780 metric tons of which approximately 23 metric tons were seized.
Over 4M marijuana plants were seized during the same time period.
Over 10,000 methamphetamine labs seized in 2004 yet a notable decrease to around 2500 seizures in 2006.
Enforcement techniques are working but just slow and difficult. It is estimated by some that about 10-15% of illegal drugs are seized. Some will say the estimate is high while others say low.
Enforcement along with education and treatment will curb the problem!

A lot less pot than in the 70s and 80s since marijuana became the number one crop in California, Oregon, Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

A LOT, regardless of whose statistics you believe...
This is simply one of many indications that the US war
on drugs makes about as much sense as did the failed US
prohibition on Alcohol some 80 yrs. ago...

More than any of us can imagine.
Which border?
I can see why you want to protect the Canadian border.
All that BC bud will make you to relaxed and peaceful and you won't want to go to war and kill people anymore.

Drugs are measured by the kilo, not the pound...
But conversion factors aside, it is a s***load.

Exactly enough to keep the "liberals" far enough away from reality that they can continue to believe the nonsense that lets them get through their nights.
