ILLEGAL DRUGS ON PLANET EARTH

On the American continent countries Colombia, Mexico and United States: Colombia, Mexico and United States are the three countries of the continent most affected by the illegal drug industry in which everyone plays a role in Colombia as a producer of drugs, Mexico as a distributor of drugs and United States as a drug user. Despite the remarkable effects of the illegal industry on the economy and society of these countries, policies independent of the countries have not solved the problems this entails.
Each country has its own economic interests, which hinder a radical solution to illegal drugs. This includes the question of which products should be legal and illegal, which includes who would agree that certain goods take the role of illegal or legal.
The main business United Statesis selling weapons to the war: In Mexico, the war against drug trafficking which is lost (due to their lack of experience in combating drug trafficking). The United States plays a dual role as a party to an alleged cooperation with the Mexican government as provisional with obsolete weapons of World War II. On the other hand sells weapons to narco traffickers Aztecs.

In Colombia drug depart and return airplanes with weapons and ammunition-weapons barter of coca. Illegal drugs are the main sour ce of financing of terrorism in the world.

The following report published by the ONU in 2011. It lets us know specific data about the consumption of the world's most popular drug marijuana. Data such as the country that consumes marijuana. The cheapest country and where it is expensive to purchase marijuana. Among other very important data for developing research:

To analyze the consumption of marijuana we assume that between 2.8% and 4.3% of the world population between 15 and 64 years use marijuana, marijuana becoming the most popular illegal drug in the world. For the both the most trafficked on the black market. The cause of financial conflicts of interest worldwide and violent crimes.
Can be seen that countries where the drug is cheaper, is because traffickers have lower police restrictions to market their merchandise. And which is more expensive to have strong police restrictions. But it means that consumption in these countries is low or null, since following the strategy of drug market among major constraints to generate higher profits marketing, as these drug merchants know the law of the market the more risk benefits. So when a government or international organizations take action against the drug trade may be useless or even contractual, ie rather than feel discouraged traders to market their goods, what happens is that the incentive to market. Whenever haiga people willing to use drugs there will always be who they are offered.

HOW AND WHY IS THE DRUG  OUTLAWED
To explain why the drug was made illegal, one must understand the reasons why hemp (or industrial hemp is the name given to varieties of Cannabis sativa and the name of the fiber obtained from them, which has, among others, textile uses), it became illegal. Economic interest countries like United States outlawed drugs such as cannabis case to protect its textile and pharmaceutical industries which were a strong competitor in the textile industry and bring to market its synthetic nylon. Using the ethics and morality to outlaw these materials used in the textile industry.
Also because of racist sentiments was another reason or another excuse for the outlawing of drugs: the Chinese and American territory was populated by competitive workforce, but with little political power, the Americans supported the consumption culture that had drug. The above was also the case with blacks who were violent beings under the influence of cocaine and were blamed for violent crime which will remove economic and political power in the nation. The Mexicans were not spared of racism during the North American and Mexican economic recession became a hindrance to U.S. employees, because the Americans took away the opportunity of obtaining income, the official excuse to displace U.S. territory was that Mexicans were responsible for some acts of violence under the influence of marijuana.

The price, supply and demand, substitute drugs.
Supply and demand: more trade restricting drug
prices rise rapidly or declining the offer, or of course, could mean an increase in demand.
The exchange rates affect trade flows:
For example the growth of the euro and the consequent fall in the dollar have become less profitable to sell cocaine to the United States.
The euro has replaced the dollar in the Western Hemisphere as the currency of choice among these traffickers, and they earn more money the change.
As cocaine use has declined dramatically in the United States, the European market has increased.

Replacement of the drug:
The price of marijuana affects the demand for cocaine, no cross-elasticity of demand between the two, the price of cocaine are highly correlated, but the correlation is negative. The drug war aid in one way or another change demand a certain drug.

Opinion is very important as a Nobel laureate economist Milton Friedman on the problem of illegal drugs:

"Mr. Milton Friedman believes that America would be better if the drug is legalized because  there would be fewer homicides, and more job opportunities. As was the case for the legalization of liquor. Of course there is the possibility that after legalizing drugs is more people using drugs at low prices because higher demand. But not entirely found in the case of drugs.

The state's role is exactly what John Stuart Mill said in the nineteenth century in "On Liberty". The proper role of government is to prevent other people from harming a person. The government, he said, never has any right to interfere in the life of a person for the sake of that person. Friedman says the government instead of protecting people, which is generating criminal damage to others. We have dead people in the various wars of the drug. We have corruption in the legal environment. We have innocent victims are the taxpayers who have to pay for more and more prisons and more and more inmates, and more and more police. We have the rest of us who do not have a decent implementation of the law because all agents are busy trying to do the impossible. And finally, we have the people of Colombia, Peru and other countries. What we have destroying and death to thousands of people in Colombia because we can not enforce our own laws? If we could enforce our laws against drugs, there would be no market for these substances. Colombia would not be as it is.





Conclusions:
In this case is as controversial as illegal drugs has been questioned not only in our time, but has been discussed for centuries, which should be the role or position of humanity with regard to these drugs. The solution lies in the moral fabric of society, that people today are not free to choose the state in an attempt to protect society has taken responsibility to choose, and thus creating a conflict of economic interests. Thus the state must leave a gap for society to make their own decisions, if envaran learn how to fix it. The state should only be an intermediary but should not decide who is wrong and that's fine.
