Here's why the government wants to double its production of illicit drugs

Since President Richard Nixon established the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in 1973 the agency has a long history of pursuing and prosecuting drug pushers around the globe. Nixon was convinced that illicit drug production and use was "public enemy number one" when he declared a global "war on drugs" in 1971. In the 50+ years since the war on drugs began and the DEA was formed, the U.S. has spent more than $1 trillion to enforce its drug policy, according to recent research from UPenn.Related: Elon Musk's Tesla has a new union problem on the heels of historic union win The U.S. spent $41 billion in 2022 alone, a record, on its national drug control budget, all so that it could stop, or at least curtail, the production and distribution of illicit substances. So it comes as a bit of a surprise that the DEA is now proposing an increase in production quotas for numerous drugs including marijuana compounds and psychedelics in order to "support research and clinical trials" of the substances. The agency is looking to nearly double the amount of psilocybin the government produces to 15,000 grams from the 8,000 grams it had previously requested for 2023, according to a filing in the Federal Register. It also doubled the amount of psilocyn — the psychedelic compound in psilocybin — it wants to 24,000 grams from 12,000 grams. The DEA also wants to increase the amount of d-9-THC the government produces to 628,460 grams from 383,460 grams. It is keeping its quota for 6.7 million grams of marijuana unchanged. In a possibly related filing, the DEA also requested information from the public about "destruction processes which may be used to render controlled substances to a non-retrievable state." The agency has been seeking alternatives to incineration for destroying the drugs it uses for research purposes at the behest of the Consolidated Appropriations Act that was signed by President Biden in 2022.

*Twitter valuation slips to $19 billion, less than half of what Musk paid*

TheStreet's J.D. Durkin brings the latest business headlines from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as markets close for trading Tuesday, October 31. Full Video Transcript Below: I'm J.D. Durkin, reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. Stocks were in the green to close out today's session. The Dow closed up 123 points, the Nasdaq closed up four tenths of a percent, and the S&P closed six tenths of a percent higher. While stocks did see some green, all three major averages ended the month in the red for the third straight month. The Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting kicked off today, and investors are looking ahead to Chair Jerome Powell's press conference Wednesday. While Wall Street is pricing in a 97 percent chance that the central bank will hold rates steady, investors will be paying close attention to Powell's comments for a gauge on the future of interest rates. Turning to tech, it's been a roller coaster ride, to say the least, for Elon Musk since he purchased X, then Twitter, a year ago. But from an investment standpoint, it's been a total loss. Musk agreed to purchase the company for $54.20 a share, giving the social media company a market value of $44 billion. Now, almost exactly a year to the day when Musk acquired the firm, its value has plummeted by 55 percent, meaning X is now worth about $19 billion. But Fidelity, which contributed $300 million to Musk's purchase, says it thinks the company is worth 65 percent less than what it was sold for. Last November, Musk joked about the purchase, using the platform to say, "How do you make a small fortune in social media? Start out with a large one." But company brass isn't letting a few numbers ruin its fun, with new CEO Linda Yaccarino telling employees just last week, "For people that don't see our vision yet, people that don't see what's happening here at X, stop giving any of that oxygen. Don't pay attention to it." That'll do it for your daily briefing. From the New York Stock Exchange, I'm J.D. Durkin with TheStreet.
