1. Drug dealers are the result or the symptom -not the problem.

2. Drug users are the result or the symptom -not the problem

So what’s the problem?

1. People hold positions of power, people make a living from manufacturing and selling on the one end, and addressing the problem on the other end.

2. Who stands to gain from an inebriated society?

3. Demand is the stone in the water creating the ripple effect.

4. Looking at the issue from both ends, and working towards the middle…

•Drug dealers need to realize their killing their own people. The attitude that somebody’s going to do it, so it might as well be me –don’t wash.

•Why are so many people on drugs¿ The root of the problem lies somewhere in there.

•And lastly, too many people are benefiting from this issue by feeding off of it and those perpetrating it, and those victimized by it -to perhaps make an effort to genuinely resolve it. This is a sickness worse than the problem itself!

Sidenote: People create problems so that they can benefit from them. The movie “Backdraft” where the man supposedly creates the fire so that he can look the hero by extinguishing it.
