I agree with this to an extent but...

I disagree with this.

The war on drugs makes drug users do shitty things to get drugs which doesn't make it a victimless crime. Unfortunately as long as the war on drugs continues in it's current capacity even the small guys need to be taken off the streets to potentially protect innocent people.

It's a vicious circle that makes no sense but it is what it is at this point.

Cops go after the small guys because it's easy. They can run some undercover buys, use their cool toys, and have a cleaning up the streets press conference.

In the end useually these busts take a very small amount of drugs useually weed off the street. Cops are satisfied and have no reason to seriously try to find anyone higher on the chain.

Case is point: my house was robbed 3 days ago, guns were stolen

Intruder traded the guns for $600 worth of heroin

Dope house was raided, all of my guns recovered EXCEPT for my favorite and most valuable of the ones stolen. It's gone

I have no way of getting it back, and will likely never find another like it
