This is indeed a problem!
I remember reading a story about a massive drugs bust the police in Liverpool made something like 15 years ago, and just before Christmas,too.Apparently there was an unusual spike in armed robberies on Post Offices and Off Licences since people relied on those drugs as their source of income and now had to look for alternative sources!!
I guess the proper gangsters will always be just that,but a fact is also that many small-time dealers are addicts themselves who buy 'bulk' for friends and themselves and then basically consume the profits....
Another concern could also be that some 'Ghetto-economies' will collapse since drugs to them IS THE ECONOMY.... so for some poor areas it could mean hardship,as stupid as that sounds.
Cans and worms come to mind with this issue....
