RE: I Started Robbing Drug Dealers When I was 15 -
The guy who set it up was actually really intelligent, when the demand peaked he restructured the way the whole block ran, organized it just like a business, 3 shifts a day, dealers were paid daily and runners were paid $1000 - $1500 on a weekly basis. It was like he was bringing real jobs into the neighborhood.
I think this is a root cause of a lot of the tension between law enforcement and inner cities... its a literal threat to their livelihood, legalities be damned. That makes sense to me.
I would be curious to see what happens to these infrastructures in places where marijuana has been legalized or decriminalized.
You should write a post proposing taking a trip into some bigger cities like Denver or Seattle to see if you can learn about the infrastructure before and after the legalization issue. That would be very interesting to see.
