The government and uncontrolled drugs

On November 30, 2010 officials seized nearly 200 pounds of cocaine from a trailer in Revere, that's about an estimated street value of $10 million. Police say Gilberto Padilla and Rafael Montero were offloading 200 pounds of cocaine from a trailer. They were each charged with one count of trafficking 200 grams or more of cocaine. The charge is the most serious that alleged cocaine traffickers can face even though 200 grams represents a fraction of what authorities recovered
The U.S. has find a way to deal with drugs more efficiently. Right now they are doing things like having undercover police officers disguising as drug dealers or addicts, (entrapment), sting operations, or having people call anonymously about tips of drug activity, etc. But it's still not enough because the drug activity rate is still a huge problem.
Going back to prohibition where the eighteenth Amendment was in force and alcoholic beverages could not legally be manufactured, transported, or sold in the U.S. The U.S. simply tried to take a negative part of our society away from society but it was more trouble then expected. At the end the opposite happened and they couldn't uphold the new law.
Now a days marijuana is one of the problems. It's almost the same concept as the prohibition era. The substance was illegal but the people did everything they could to get their hands on it. Then some countries legalized marijuana. It just goes to show that if the people want something then they will get it. People will eventually see that have an enormous amount of power, they will abuse it and the government could do nothing about it.
Out of that 200 pounds of cocaine that was confiscated, think about how much of that would come into Chelsea. That was a large amount but just a portion when compared with the total amount of drugs in the city.
You should know this because it sure helps if you know what's going on in and around your community.
