Actually as a former soldier I'm confident in saying that it's a combination of several factors that keep drugs and drug related crime on our streets.
1) Unlimited supply - Foreign government funded farms with the workers actually getting their cheap salaries from laundered cash. Which leads to...
2) These foreign governments are too used to this easy money... Too many people have their hands out. Instability and no confidence in their own military to stop the cultivators. YOU CAN'T STOP A MONEY TRAIN.
3) and their own military(s) are pinned down and can't match the might of drug funded mercenaries and militias.
4) Now for the US. There will always be corruption in our own military, government, local and federal police agencies. But the stealing is closer to the ground level than most people want to imagine. (not to say a 'suit & tie' won't get paid)... There's all ways a puppet master...
5) ...but the dishonest people closest to the supply, control what does and does come in to this country. it's as simple as that. Our own cannibalistic government agents, officers, etc... that will allow another honest soldier in the war to fall so that they can go on the take.
6) The idiot in the video kept mentioning prices... The prices remain low because the shipping lanes have never been impeded. The workers work for next to nothing so over-head has never changed. The entire process is illegal and untaxed so there's no need to raise prices... it's almost all profit for everyone in the chain except for the field-hands (who's forced to work to feed his family)... Plus the seller knows exactly what his common end user can afford.
7) Demand & Addiction go hand in hand.
As for rich folks in skyscrapers with drug delivery boys. As the addiction increases so does the risk of exposure. Eventually they all end up on the street or in jail. No crack head can keep a prestigious job without getting fired first... if he does then he's not addicted enough for anyone to make any serious money.
For some poor folks.... the temptation to buy a new Cadillac Escalade with spinners is too great, sell, sell, sell, and kill your own people. For others - drugs are all they have to turn to. No job. uneducated. Homeless.... I guess it's spirals downward from there.
It's not the white man's fault. It's everyone's fault you asshole. (to the jerk the video) There are plenty of books written by minorities that point out that every man controls his or her own destiny... you don't have to be poor to be on drugs... but just because you are poor doesn't mean you have to use them.
