Drugs Inc.

Does anyone watch this show? I find it pretty fascinating, but can't figure out why these people who are deep in the drug game would go on TV and explain their business. Even if they are masked/concealed.

 

Yea its a intresting take on drugs

 

money

 

yup

 

Dunno. But one thing I would say is:-

Celebrity crooks = complete grasses...

 

So someone that is moving keys of coke every week is worried about making a few hundred from a nat geo tv show?

Hm.

 

You never can have too much money.

And no clue how much they could pay him, or what kind of agreements they have been into.

 

Well, don't we already know that most of the hardcore drug running (cocaine, heroin) is done by our own CIA?

Most people don't realize that illegal drugs are HUGE business and literally fuel the economy.

I have never seen the show you speak of, though.

 

I wouldn't say most. At least anymore. Lots of people dealing directly with the cartels.

 

Yeah, but most of those cartels are in bed with the government. Do you really think most of the cocaine that comes into this country just sneaks in? No, it is allowed in, and several times has been found being smuggled in on government planes and boats.

There are several historical examples of government complicity in drug running (Iran-Contra; Mena, Arkansas, etc.)

 

I know all about that, but there are so many people in the game now. It's literally endless. I would imagine some is let in (depending on who it is), and a whole lot more is smuggled in by unknown people. And of course a lot is busted but that's just the tip of the iceberg. No way the gov't has a monopoly on it.

 

well it just doesn't bother me one way or the other, because i've just never found a substance as good as my imagination.

hypocracy does bother me though. and people being manipulated by government or anyone else, into getting themselves or each other into trouble.

i don't believe banning possession of anything accomplishes the reasons given for doing so. but it does create markets for organized crime and a tool for political harassment.

some things, if enough people don't want other people to have them, should just not be mass produced to begin with. like guns and possibly cars.

but if someone can make or grow something themselves, no one should have the authority to tell them they can't have it, unless they are somehow harming someone or some thing, else, by doing so.

 

Yea, I watch it but I wasn't interested in watching this past Sundays show..."Rocky Mountain High" because I have seen wayyy too many shows about weed in the past few years..

 

I haven't seen this show but I have seen shows here in the UK where crime is basically turned into a form of entertainment,so it becomes "normalised".Is it like a move where your emotions are manipulated so one minute you're rooting for the bad guy and the next minute the good guy.Youngsters are certainly being given mixed messages about crime.

 

Maybe this is because in a certain sense crime is an industry which supports both the criminal and the state.It's a complicit double bind.

 

Drugs Inc does not make me jump up and down and applaud cartels.

Did anyone see the Chicago one? Quite sad. The one girl living in an abandoned building there shooting dope died by the end of the show.

 

those shows are fake/staged
