The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a division of the federal government’s National Institutes of Health (NIH), has spent $3,634,807 over the past decade funding research that involves getting monkeys to smoke and drink drugs such as PCP, methamphetamine (METH), heroin, and cocaine and then studying their behavior, including during different phases of the female monkeys’ menstrual cycles.
At a time when the country is going through economic hardships and Congress is arguing over raising the debt ceiling we as citizens must ask is this the best use of our tax dollars. Would it not make more sense to use this money to help pay off our national debt or to lower taxes in order to help create jobs or allow Americans to keep more of their income.
