Mostly China, smuggled in via the Mexican Cartels. They then distribute it like any other drug into the US, via mules. The massive drug pipelines of Chicago gangs mainly deal in dealer distribution to the East Coast. It's then picked up by local dealers in New York, Philadelphia, and Wilmington.
@11:03 WHY would they do that? The dealer didn't force anyone to buy from them, or to intake the drug. Since they dont lock up the user even though using drugs is illegal, why should they charge the seller with murder?
Wait, you guys, the government IS the Kingpin! Why do you think we're in Afghanistan and other poppy growing countries there guarding those crops? Sending arms and trading them for... you guessed it!

ReplyDelete11:48. Exactly! Law enforcement should be going after the king pins. "Dealers" are mainly users too.
ReplyDeleteThe charges for distribution should include attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder, as well as a bunch of others.
ReplyDeleteWanton disregard for human life.
