Non-Profit Organization Seeks To Rid The World of Drug Dealers
I got this e-mail from this guy named Steven H Steiner. He is the president of an organization called DAMMADD (Dads and Mad Moms Against Drug Dealers).
In his e-mail he wrote about how he lost his 19-year-old son to an accidental drug overdoes and has since dedicated his life to trying to rid the world of drug dealers.
He claims that through his website www.dammadd.org he has received 800 tips, made 32 arrests and 17 convictions throughout the eastern United States.
How does he do it? His website pays rewards for tips about drug activity that lead to the arrest and conviction of drug dealers.
His premise is that through the use of his incentive program people will find the courage to narc on drug dealers and eventually stomp out this plague that is "destroying our families, friends and communities. It's time the drug dealers began to look over their shoulders, began to fear leaving their homes".
How do you think they sell drugs? Drug dealers don't have masterful marketing schemes. They don't have huge blue lights on the tops of their apartments. When is the last time you saw a guy standing outside holding a poster board advertising a one night only midnight to 6am sale on Oxycodone?
People come to them.
Now I might not be the worldliest person but I have never heard of anyone being held against their will by drug dealers until they coughed up a twenty and purchased some drugs.
Drug dealers never have problems moving product. Food will rot on store shelves before drugs will get old. There is a jar of Mayonnaise going bad in someone's refrigerator every 2 mins in this country.
The only reason weed gets old and useless is if someone forgets where they hid it.
Let me get this straight, if you rid the world of drug dealers who is going to be next, the guys down at the hardware shop selling paint thinner or Elmer's glue?
Your son wanted to get high. Honestly, isn't that the problem?
The problem with drugs isn't Colombia, Mexico or poppy crops in Afghanistan. It's the insatiable demand for escapism through the use of drugs in the first world.
My ONLY problem with drug dealers is their use of violence. What I hate about drug dealers is their uncanny ability to shoot into a crowd and only manage to maim the people that have absolutely fucking nothing to do with it. Its like their bullets know exactly who is about to be the first person in a family to go to college, who just had a little baby daughter or who just got hired in down at the post office.
Most of the violence in the drug trade stems from the fact that the drug trade can't enjoy protection from the law; so they have no choice but to take the law into their own hands.
In a perfect world a drug dealer would be nothing more than a guy with a product that he is selling out of his home or the back of his car.
And don't tell me that I am adult now so I am mature enough to know to stay away from drugs.
I was a kid once too. I never touched the shit then and I don't touch the shit now. The problem is not supply it is demand.
So how about founding an organization called Dads and Moms Concerned About Stomping Out the Reason People Feel the Need to Do Drugs In The First Fucking Place or DAMCASORPFNDDFFP?
I would be 100% behind that.
I guess it just sounds tough to go and take on the big bad drug dealers behind the safety of a website but here is the painful truth, before it was the heroine that killed your son it was the glue he sniffed in shop class, or the paint thinner he sniffed in your garage, or the beer he stole from your refrigerator and beneath all of that was the person inside he didn't like very much and the pain he wanted to numb by escaping through a world of narcotics.
As long as there is pain there will be drugs.
