What Is So Bad About Drug Dealers?

Question by Wozza291: What is so bad about drug dealers?
Why do people see them as scum of the earth. These aren’t bad criminals, and shouldn’t even be classed as criminals. The criminals are the rapists, murderers, pedophiles, muggers, etc. Drug dealers are just meeting a demand. It ain’t there fault people want to take drugs. They don’t force them to take drugs. Simple economics says if there is no demand then there’s going to be no supply. Maybe I don’t have such a case with the likes of heroin or crack, but take cocaine for instance, this is just a party drug. Yes people get addicted but it doesn’t have the same effect on their lives as heroin or crack. Worst still is the illegality of marijuana.

At the end of the day if the government made drugs a national health problem and not national security and decriminalized and legalized these drugs, then the drugs could be prescribed by the government or if not then major companies would sell it, and then it wouldn’t be sold by criminals. You could stop tons of crime so easily by legalizing the drugs trade. Look at Colombia, for example, because of the drugs trade thousands were killed, including MPs, when Pablo Escobar was in charge of it. Look at what is going on in Mexico now.

I’m telling you that, though obvious to many, the reason there is so much gun crime in the world today and over the past 20 years or so is because of the drugs trade. That much money is being made from it that people are doing anything to protect it. This means the use of guns.

I think the only reason people hate the drug dealers so much is because their own lives are so dull and are jealous of the big cars and money the dealers flash about. I don’t think we should be hating on the drug dealers but should be lobbying the governments to end this now. I have a conspiracy that the major governments of the world are working along side major players in the drugs trade and making a nice little earner themselves. It is a widely known fact that the Mexican government allows (well use to anyway) a major drug lord a certain patch on the border to ply their trade for a monthly payment to the government. The government knows it can never stop the illegal drug trade, never, so it must be making something out of it.

Even if you or others may think the product they sell should be legalized, at this time it is still illegal, so they are selling an illegal product. Oh yeah and it can also really screw up your head, body, life in general, including those around you.
