        2/ “Drug trafficking is inherently violent.” Yes & no. Violence accompanies any illegal activity, but drug dealing much less violent today.

        3/ In 1980s & 90s, the crack trade was notoriously dangerous, and experts agree it drove much of the violence and crime back then.

        Treat addicts jail violent offenders and drug Lords. Stop warehousing nonviolent offenders who can't afford high bailes for petty amounts.
