Lets Rethink Policy-Making: Illegal Drugs – A cheaper alternative. Let’s Rethink Policy-Making: Filthy Lucre What happens if we stop pretending the illegal drugs market will disappear? Using conservative figures for England & Wales, this post explores how costs, criminal profits, regulation, and incentives interact — and why redesigning where money flows may matter more than repeating moral arguments.

We spend ~£20bn a year dealing with the consequences of illegal drugs in England & Wales — while ~ £10bn flows to criminal markets.

Lets Rethink Policy-Making: Illegal Drugs – Who’s Been Getting Rich. Let’s Rethink Policy-Making: The Filthy Lucre. What happens when the public cost of managing illegal drugs is larger than the market itself? Looking at England & Wales data, we explore why drug use persists, how costs accumulate across health, crime and social services, and why pretending demand can be driven to zero may be one of the most expensive policy assumptions we make.

We spend roughly £20bn a year dealing with the consequences of illegal drugs in England & Wales — while the market itself is worth around £10bn.

This isn’t a moral argument. It’s an accounting one.
