It's weird to see stuff like this yet have the cocaine game still going strong in my small city. No bust seems to make a difference. I wonder what it would take to truly disrupt the trade.

"25 Tonnes you say"?

"Yes, I hear they have to work overtime to burn those 22 tonnes."

Eh really the market is so big, I think it would take something akin to parts of South America floating off into into the distance.

I'm honestly not sure if even legalising it would make that much difference at this point.

14 Tonnes? Wow that's nuts. What are we going to do with 8 Tonnes of cocaines? It's too much to move. Well I guess we'll have to figure something out with these 2 tonnes of cocaine. It's not like 20 lbs of cocaine are going to move themselves

30 tonnes barely makes a dent. There is probably another 30 arriving next week somewhere. The war on drugs was lost decades ago.

The reason criminals sell it is because the cost is extremely high due to it being illegal.

If they’re competing on low price they have very little reason to be interested

Except regulation would haunted quality. Something illegal trade doesn't have. So you can undercut by cutting which in return makes a product less potent and potentially dangerous. That said, like with pot, most users switched to dispensaries as soon as they were a thing. The ones that didn't just don't care as much about what they are buying and its unlikely to get pot that's dangerous. Tho the ones selling it may be.

It would absolutely make a huge dent in the illegal trade. Maybe boy get rid of it, but help immensely.

You won’t. It’s a pointless fight. The war on drugs makes things worse for people all around. The problems with drugs are 95% because it’s a black market. Adulteration deaths (your fentynal deaths) wouldn’t happen in a regulated market. Violence surrounding it wouldn’t happen in a regulated market. Spread of blood born diseases would be lessened with greater access to needles. People don’t like this but the war on drugs is what makes drug use so damn dangerous.

The best is when a big group of American officers stand in front of a table of 2 guns, a couple pounds of weed, and like 200 dollars.

I mean we haven’t eliminated OD’s here either. We never will. People’s desire to be intoxicated will always be there and the need will always be met. Education is how you address issues with drug use, not criminalization. We have people hesitant to get help because of the criminal nature of their behavior. Genuinely, what good has come from prohibition? Because it’s not currently theoretical, we’re living it out. Prohibition is currently creating a worse world to live in. I’ve got to ask you, are you planning on going and creating a heroin habit for yourself if it were attainable tomorrow? Is simple access to heroin the barrier between you and just totally being unable to control yourself or is it that you know that would be a bad idea and you wouldn’t engage in that either way? What was more effective in your life in preventing you from sinking to the depths of drug addiction education or prohibition?

No I’m saying that the deaths from alcohol under prohibition were worse than they are currently. Alcohol was dangerous as fuck during prohibition. You had no regulation over it and as a result had no way of telling if what you were drinking was ethanol or methanol. One of those causes blindness pretty quickly.
