Re: Criminality
"Despite all the massive drugs busts you read about, it doesn't really seem to impact the supply lines at all, people can still get them."
From what I've seen/heard/read, and not being user or have any links to the drugs trade, it appears there are significant price fluctuations in the periods after major drug confiscations. A ton or 3 of "pure" Bolivian Marching Powder coming in from South America is a LOT of dealer bags on the street. I'm thinking particularly of the UK here where the importation methods are little more limited than some other countries, what with being an island and all.
