And, with the attraction of enormous potential for profit, there will always be people who are willing to break the law in order by provide drugs to whomever wants to purchase them.

Hence, this so-called "Drug War" really isn't, in effect, a war at all.

This "Drug War" is, in actuality, the protection racket, so to speak, for an illegal and dangerous industry.
