*nods* True, but then if we made drugs legal, the dealers really wouldn't all of a sudden become legal businessmen. No, they would find another means of finance. Maybe kidnapping for ransom, weapons dealing, extortion, casinos, underage and/or forced prostitution etc...

^ For sure. If drugs were made legal, the price of them would drop and they wouldn't make the big money they are now. It would be much less incentive for them to be in the drug-making/selling business, so they'd probably turn to other illegal means of making money. It's not about the drugs I think, so much as it is about making as much money as they can--and sadly, it's a lot easier to make money by illegal means than it is lawful ones ><
