yep... so long as there is such an easy way to make money without any real effort there will be gangs who want to control it.... Hey... with drug dealing you don't have to get up and you make your own hours and never do any heavy lifting or thinking.

Even running prostitutes is harder.    Drug prohibition is not working any better than alcohol prohibition did.   It is also having much the same effect and affect on crime.....shooting it through the roof.

put these lazy useless criminals out of business.

Florida led the way in



*giggle*  Only if Arizona never existed.

 Texas has some interesting laws too. Last time I checked Texas law, you could shoot someone who was stealing something on your property(a car or bike perhaps) if it was after dark.  


Here in AZ we have our share of violence. Fortunately it's criminals shooting each other(for the most part) and I'm fine with that.

"what should the legal age for crack smoking be, lololol?"

I dunno... what is it now?   What is it for booze?   Do laws stop teens from drinking?   I suppose you could use the same ones.

In my experiance... there are people who are addicts.  They will become addicts regardless of the laws.

On the plus side.... in my experiance... there are a vast majority of the people who are not predispossed to addiction and a lot who may be on the border but are smart enough to not do drugs no matter how easy and available they are.

I also believe that once you take away the rebel aspect away and make it legal..... even more will not do it.

How does it help to have addicts steal and destroy a thousand dollars of property a day to get about $5 worth of drugs?

How does it help to finance gangs?

Street gangs......what a hoot.
Stret gang activity is at it`s highest in prisons.
You see it over and over on documentaries, etc. that gang activity can`t be stopped in prisons. Gangs rule prisons, so to speak.
If you beleive in a confined space, under heavy guard, you can`t control gang activity or stop it entirely, what do you think the chances of controlling it on the outside are?
How much actual effort do you think is being put forth to stop it?
A piece of the pie is what it is all about.
Don`t know of anyone who would willing give up their paycheck or shut down their own job as a whole.
It`s a racket like everything else. Dollars and cents on both sides of the legal/illegal aspect.
Democracy is two wolves deciding on what to eat. Freedom is a well armed sheep protesting the vote.

agreed jakal....  gang activity is highest in prison where you have the highest concentration of losers and addicts imaginable... They prove that no laws or amount of surveilance will deter that portion of society from wreaking havoc on whoever they come into contact with including themselves...

They even corrupt the guards.    It is the money that does it in that case.

Easy money, addiction... two things that feed the gangs.  easy to slow the flow of both.

The government and it's laws created the gangs.... they did it out of stupidity and malice and they are too weak to stop it with the laws they themselves put in place.   The laws cause the problem.   The problem is so big that further laws will only make it worse.... the more risk... the more profit so far as drug dealing goes.   and.... these guys are not afraid of prison...

What they are afraid of is.... not being able to make a living off of vice.   No more easy money.  no more rep...  

That is the simple reality of the thing.

I don't see it changing in the near future so.... I just avoid em.   I can't believe anyone is stupid enough to live and play in anything like close proximity to them.
