Summary

This quote highlights the negative consequences of drug prohibition. By making drug prices skyrocket, prohibition creates an environment conducive to gang warfare and violent criminal activities. It explains that the exorbitant profits involved attract ruthless criminals into the drug trade, indirectly fueling violence. Moreover, addicts desperate to meet inflated drug prices resort to theft and robbery, contributing to the overall increase in violent crimes. Thus, this quote argues that drug prohibition perpetuates a cycle of violence and criminal behavior due to the economic circumstances it creates.
