The drug is the threat.

'i'll chop you up and put you in the back of the trunk like drug money' no not me. this is popular quote from the intro of a jay-z song. not so popular but its what came to mind when i started to write this. Drugs and crime go hand in hand. its safe to say that most people who sell drugs are fully aware of the fact they are criminals. you know the old cliché in the movies, the father sells drugs but he dont want his children to sell the dope. His wife is showered with diamonds and pearls, dont work but still finds enough time to hangout with her girlfriends and talk hair. every ganster film i can think of ties directly into this category. Goodfellas,Casino,American Ganster....the list go's on.

on the other hand their are those that dont sell drugs to make a profit but abuse them to get high. all the drug dealer is going to do is supply the dope,the drug addict is going to demand.

The drug user proberly dont go to university, they proberly dont have a nice shiney car, they most likely need help. Does the drug dealer care? no all they want is there cash to feed the addiction to there life styles.

whats my point? the drug dealer is addicted to the cash the lifestyle the money, the cars. the Woman. the drug addict is addicted to the drugs.It has a grip on them. the Drug is the threat. for more on how gansters become rich and powerful follow the link below.
