Um ... SO ??? There will have been 500 OTHERS doing
similar things. Barely a blip in the total cocaine
supply.
Sorry, but the conventional 'Drug War' mentality is
an expensive LOSER. Much spent, nothing relevant.
accomplished.
On the flip, "legalization" havens DO tend to go
downhill quickly. SanFran/Portland in the USA are
great examples.
Sorry, NO good solutions to this one. Some things
are just like that.
So far however, the UK seems relatively free of
the new great "Tranq"+Fentanyl craze ... diseased
zombies everywhere ... like one of those movies ....
Oh well, SO far, they're not hungry for brains :-)
Add a few Chinese viruses though ...
Anyway, be HAPPY for mere cocaine. There are
MUCH MUCH worse things out there - and they
can be made from jars of chemicals, no real
smuggling involved ....... and wait until
someone engineers bacteria or something to
make them .............
As said, NO good solutions. Sorry. Try harder,
more Big Brother, and you'll just create an
underclass of outsiders who'll be even MORE
dangerous.
