You say:

«the Global Commission on Drugs insists that America’s drug consumption is rising by 34.5%, 27% and 8.5% in opiates, cocaine and cannabis, respectively.»

The foregoing figures refer to 1998-2008 World’s drug consumption, not America’s. See Global Commission on Drug Policy report p.4

For those interested in my take on the Global Commission, see “Wilful Ignorance: The New Reality?” here:
