The Drug Trade is becoming an important topic in American Politics.
Drug use is on the rise and many people have there own suggestions on how to combat it.
The problem is that most people do not see the drug trade as a whole. They see it as an American social problem, when in fact it is a global economic problem. Billions of dollars are spent each year in a futile attempt to control big business. This policing of the drug trade is expensive to US tax payers and all it does is increase the demand of drugs thus increasing their value. The Latin American people are poor and these drugs can easily be produced at limited costs.
