The Sopranos was a soap opera compared to The Wire.

the Pharma companies have the government in their back pocket...this helps them control the market and crush competition. They are no different than cartels...I agree with you

[Bouchon211]

Crack is only used because it is a cheap and potent version of cocaine, same with meth. The pharmecutical company are already selling legal versions of these drugs you seem to not understand! No drug kingping in the world could compete with the pharmaceutical companies, even some of the largest and most powerful companies in the would can't compete with them. Drugs used to be legal during the most successful stage of American history and drug use was far lower than today.

crack dealers no Drug Kingpins Yes and I think a pharmaceutical company wont sell crack, crystal meth or herion Medical Weed Yes and you keep selling history has proven this does not happen they could be a first time for everything everything is possible history ALMOST repeats it self

[Bouchon211]

What the hell are you talking about? Even if they did become a legit business, then they would be a LEGIT business, and therefore subject to laws and scrutiny by the government and the people. Again history has proven that this DOES NOT happen! You really think some crack dealers are gonna start a business and take on the trillion dollar pharmaceutical companies for market share in the industry which the pharmaceutical companies already dominates? Get real!

[EricIsAwesome123]

I said they WOULD BECOME hear that BECOME a legit business and crack and beer is one different thing

[Bouchon211]

Prove it. Name one gang or criminal organization that owns an alcohol company or tobacco company in America. Oh none? Exactly!

When prohibition ended Al Capone had a stranglehold on the liquor business, and when prohibition ended his business dissolved overnight, History proves that you are incredibly wrong,

money talks in that case. depends on the businessmans setting, his demographic, his other rackeets if any others. but if prices fall for him and it is legal, then he will just leave that rackeet. no sense in trying to compete when its out of his hands. All depends on if its worth it or not worth it. And what is most profitable & having a good form of insulation if things get too hot

[EricIsAwesome123]

the gangs and cartel would become a legit business to supply the stores because drug kingpins are smart that is why they are the bosses
