> But the laws don't cause the violence, they make it so violent individuals are the only one's willing to fill the supply.

This is untrue. The vast majority of the US drug trade is done without violence.

There’s violence in the powder/pill drug game because the profit margins are so high, creating an immense amount of competition. Sometimes you can 5-10x your money off powder, that isn’t really possible with marijuana or lsd, unless you are the grower or chemist.

There’s very little violence in the marijuana and hallucinogen markets.

You're correct, I was speaking somewhat abstractly, and only meant to include the smaller subset of the drug market that has a large amount of violence associated with it.

You’re forgetting about coke, heroin and meth, and the massive amount of related violence down the supply chain.

All 3 of those drugs are powders, so no, I didn’t forget those.
