Good or Bad? You decide

**PureVenom** · **Good or Bad? You decide**

So, how bad would this plot have really been? I think it would have been a good thing for the US in the long run. Sure, it would have killed people, but, I think it might have helped clean some people up and maybe helped our war on Drugs. The Columbians, however, felt it was a bad thing for business. lol.

I don't think it would have cleaned anybody up, an adict is an adict, they would not stop for fear of being poisoned. they think they'll dye if they stop taking the dammed drug. And even if the Colobians would have gone out of business, another group would have risen. that's just the nature of organized crime.

I dunno how fast another group would have risen considering that they have masses of land that they grow these crops at. Unlike all the others.

And if they are an addict, and get ahold of the tainted stuff, they will be cleaned up by default. Therefore, the number of users would go down. With users being removed from the gene pool, potential users may think twice about it. Same probably holds true for social users, if there is such a thing as far as cocain goes.

Needless to say, one by one, users will be removed from society. To me, this is a good thing as I don't really have much sympathy for drug users. Might even help some crime rates...at least the ones related to cocain like robbery and such.

Eh thats a thing of the past man. These days crimes related to drugs have to do with a dealer vs dealer type of situations now user vs society.

You might think it solves a problem by killing off the druggies but it not like that at all Street wise people would be aware of the problem immediately. Then you have drug dealer without a drop of moral fiber selling to first time school kids.

So you think a innocent kid should die for trying something once that he did under peer pressure to do!!!!! Tell that to the millions of parent of kids who try drugs once and never try it again. Most kids try some form of drug once. Should they die for it !!!!

I don't believe killing users is the answer to the drug problem. And even if there was an actual 'fear" of cocaine. users would move to the next drug of choice. or lets imagine no one ever uses cocaine again, you think this would end the drug business? what about heroin, methanphetamine, not to mention the abuse of legal drugs, or even one of our biggest problems X or ecstasy. that last one is maunly produced in the netherlands, u think their business would be affected? don't think so.

Hahaha the primary producers of Cocaine might be Colombia. But much of the coca leave is grown in Peru and Bolivia. The product is there , the demand will be there. If colombia were out of the picture that would just mean an open market free of competition for another group. supply and demand. very simple.

I was only refering to the cocain business. I know there are other drugs out there. If this plan were put into place, and users were wiped out and coke was deemed too threatening to use, and everyone switched to any one of the other options, do you not think that bone head would also switch his plan over? The dude's a psyco, but I think he would be smart enough to move on to the next drug.

No they would not be wiped out. When it was distributed at the top of the chain they would know about it instantly when they sampled the stuff. So before it hit the streets the drug lords would know and then only the most mentally disturbed wacko would put it on the streets. Really only the most hard up and newbees would die

Its funny you say something like this about a 2 months ago or so back home there was a large shipment of herion from NYC that was totally bad that were killing people left and right and i swear by two days it was totally off the streets to the point where the cops got a package and in the package was the rest of the herion they were trying to get off the streets.

Drug Lords > Cops

V6Stang - and who do you think owns those fields in Peru. I really doubt that the cartels would let something so needful for their product just be. Not saying other Cartels wont take the chance but they must be already claimed for.

WhiteStang99 · 07-27-2005, 02:06 AM

Nah, probably not a good thing. I wouldn't mind cocaine not being a problem anymore, but it ain't gonna happen like that. I have relatives who are addicted to this shit, and have very little sympathy for them.

If Colombians go out of business, it would probably start a gang war, but 2 years max from the time Colombians dissapear, it'll be back to normal as far as American coke buying is concerned.

Thomas91169 · 07-27-2005, 03:09 AM

i find it strange that bin laden would actually believe that the columbian drug cartel would be dumb enough to kill off its customers. thats corporate suicide. that would be like bill gates killing off all of his programmers.

and seriously, would the US really care if all our crackheads started dying off? hell no, wed be giving him props for cleaning up our riff raff. my ghetto would be a better place afterwards.

WhiteStang99 · 07-27-2005, 04:45 AM

No, it would be more like Bill Gates killing of all his customers, his end-users. Everybody, but back on point, coke dealers killing coke heads (in essence) would be like Bill Gates killing his consumers, not his programmers. That would be like coke dealers killing drug dealers.

The "fields" in Peru and Bolivia are usually owned by poor farmers, who due to lack of resources to market any other crop, see an opportunity to gain income by cultivating the coca plant. Because the �drug lords� will go to them to purchase their crop. That is why it�s so difficult for law enforcement to get them to stop growing it. The Colombian govt has ceded territory to the guerilla in other to negotiate peace, the guerilla uses the drug business to finance their "movement" and grow the crops in their territory which in turn sell it for the production of cocaine.
