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....
And think of the jobs and income generated by new companies that set up in business to serve customers needs.Licensed to produce a clean product too plus the tax that the government would get in the form of customs and excise.Those bulk buyers could buy their product legally in the amounts they want for their personal use and not risk prison.I can see a lot of upsides too.
