How Can We Win The War On Drugs?
Start holding the politicians and big businessmen, the military, et.al. responsible. The drugs don't get here on their own. There's a lot of "looking the other way" going on. You can't get a pair of nail clippers on a plane, but you can ship a pound of heroin. You can't land on our soil without clearance and without going through customs, but you can fly kilos of cocaine from Columbia; the Coast Guard catches all the Haitian and Cuban boats and refugees, but a drug smuggler can breach the coast for thousands to millions in profit. Come on!!!
What are some myths about the drug trade?
Myth - It's fair.Myth - You get what you pay for.Myth - The users are only hurting themselves.Myth - All the money goes towards terrorism.Myth - There is an easy way out.Myth - Geographic relocation helps.Myth - There's no easier way to make money.Myth - People get what they deserve.My opinion of courseLeon
What would the criminal gangs involved in the illegal drug trade turn their hand to if illegal drugs were legalised?
Agreeing with the other two answers before me, they'd turn to other crimes at first. Right now, other crimes are ancillary 'services' to support or diversify drug cartels. For instance, in many parts of the world, robbery and kidnapping are a way to raise capital quickly if it gets depleted in a war over production and distribution channels.But that may be progressively reduced, as the profit margin becomes less of an incentive. The market for human trafficking and assassinations is much smaller (though it's not to be overlooked). Cyber fraud is whole other matter, but that's a different skill set altogether, and far less physically violent. I'd venture to say that corporate corruption way outweighs that, and is certainly way more physically violent as we can currently see around the world.Back to the drug lords, the cost-benefit for them to reskill and join the legal workforce is too low. It'll take at least a generation to phase them out. That may be shorter than people expect, though, as it is obviously a hazardous activity.
Do drug dealer get robbed and killed?

Are residents of Mexico who are not involved in criminal activity or the drug trade pretty much safe from violent crime?
Depends on the area, but generally…yes.Drug cartels and criminals are all about profit in Mexico. It’s a BIG business. Unless you’re a potential threat to their business, you shouldn’t have much of an issue.Drug cartels don’t just go around harassing people for no reason in Mexico. That’s not profitable.I lived in Mazatlan for months on end, which is in Sinaloa, and only had one security issue the whole time. And that issue resulted from me being in the wrong place at the wrong time.But overall, Mazatlan is safe and Mexico in general is fairly safe.Locals in these areas live a normal life and do NOT walk around in fear. There is some danger but it’s not present on the streets in daily life in most Mexican cities I’ve visited. Well over a dozen.Stay in a nice area. Don’t flash cash. Learn some Spanish. Be respectful of people. Don’t drive outside the city at night.If you can do those things in Mexico, I find the country to be a wonderful place to explore.
How do I become a drug dealer?
Im ******* sick and tired of being dirt poor, how do I sell drugs? IM NOT ASKING THIS FOR YOU TO TELL ME NOT TO, IM VERY AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF SELLING DRUGS. AND THIS IS MY ******* CHOICE. So please take your scared of the police and getting into trouble, BULLSHIT elsewhere, unless you have some USEFUL ******* advice for ****'s sake.
How do drug dealers get the drugs?
Most of the time they probably get them from someone who has it in bulk. The person who has it in bulk probably got it from over the border. If you're talking about marijuana, which I don't consider a drug, people usually grow it and sell it in bulk to distributors who sell you to the consumers.
