Makes me wonder if it was decriminalised, regulated and heavily taxed if the Melbourne Gangland war would have even occured - it's a huge untapped market which is why it attracts these types to it, the money is unbelievable.
Hanging about the seedy parts of Melbourne that they don't advertise in the tourism brochure, I've come across people from all walks of life - one particular interesting event I've witnessed was a group buying $2600 worth of cocaine from a
17 year old kid. I thought I was doing real well getting $175 for a 10 hour day at work on the weekend when I was 17 a decade ago - $2600 in a single transaction
The buyers were middle aged men of the white collar variety and a few women.
