The way to "win" the drug war, is the way you win in capitalism. COMPETITION!!! No one would go to illegal drug gangs if they could go to 7-11(or similar).

- ringaroundthetx 9y agoOut of curiosity, what goods and services will people in that line of business switch to? Will they exploit inefficiencies in other drugs markets that the state hasn't caught on to yet? And just accept the diminishing returns before switching to the next drugs? Will they try other lines of business, like computer hacking syndicates? Or they all magically disappear, or be cut off from appearing because there is simply no unskilled labor + high margin + low overhead business line remaining?
- danschumann 9y agoWhat happened to the gangsters of Al Capone's day, when prohibition took away their competitive edge? Did they sell "insurance"? You seem quite passive aggressive, without offering any thoughts yourself. My guess is, most will be unemployed. They aren't criminal geniuses. They've found a cheap way to make money and get high at the same time, most of them.
