Trump: I'm polling higher than anybody has ever polled in Venezuela. So after I'm finished with this, I can go to Venezuela. I will quickly learn Spanish. It won't take too long. I'm good at language, and I will go to Venezuela. I'm going to run for president.

It's a little weird that this has had effectively no effect on the price of blow.
Not that I'd know or anything.

Drug enforcement never works.
If the government is successful and drastically reduces the amount of drugs available for the consumer then the prices shoot up. If you had five people willing to deal drugs at $100 a unit, once scarcity drives the price up to $200 unit there will be 10 people willing to deal drugs.
Its the nature of the business.

Ill add to this that from experience what happens is just new and different drugs. MDMA disappeared off the market in 2005 due to successful enforcement.... and all kinds of insanely dangerous new research chemicals with 0 history of human use became widespread. Eutylone, methylone, 4methylmethcathinone. Each one more horrifying and dangerous than the last. More addictive and more powerful too. They succeeded in driving up the price of heroin... So everything became inert material cut with cheap fentanyl that can be made in a kitchen. They eliminated LSD in 2009 by raiding the only chemist making it and in the 2010s innocent party goers just looking for a good time died by the dozens due to 25i-NBOMe being the new substitute. It's the same story every time. Meth got slightly more expensive and Bath Salts/Pyrovalerones were born giving the world Flakka and crazy fuckers eating people's faces. Nowadays, real MDMA and LSD are back on the market and you don't see people dropping like flies or becoming addicts to unknown chems in the psychedelic scene anymore, but fentanyl still dominates downers for the hardcore addicts. There's already now way worse shit waiting for when fentanyl is eliminated or made expensive and you can already see it out in bad downtown areas, tranq, it's why theyre rotting like zombies...
Hell. Illegal WEED created the Spice/synthetic weed epidemic which killed thousands and disabled more with increasingly fucked up untested compounds being sprayed on oregano and sold. Whereas weed just left alone is effectively harmless besides users choosing to be lazy with it.
All drugs enforcement does is kill otherwise innocent citizens who are self medicating something (sometimes using proven effective treatments like LSD and MDMA for post traumatic stress disorder under the table because they're illegal and can't get them safely from a doctor when nothing else works, or pain patients whose doctors decided due to new drug enforcement rules that they should have to go to the street instead).
With so many dead friends from this stuff over the years its hard to watch people celebrating this - just celebrating more of their most vulnerable brothers and sisters in this world dying before getting a chance to do better - because it feels good, feels like victory.
