The question you gotta be asking yourselves is:
Why is the wine and beer isle in your local supermarket - three/four times longer than the caned food isle?
Why is 14.7% of the population on prescription antidepressant drugs (google it - that shocked me)?
Why is the illegal supply of drugs in the UK is estimated to be worth £9.4bn (billions per year)
------------
Each individual heroin/crack user represents a significant source of revenue for the illegal drugs market. The annual spend of someone using both heroin and crack (approximately £19,000) is around 80% of the median wage in the UK.
Again, this information is very helpfully provided in graphical form :
The UK has the highest spend per head on drugs and alcohol than any other European country.
Plus I did not see Amphetamines on the table above or am I just getting old?
I was gonna build an Ecstasy lab at the bottom of the garden, but this graphic has thankfully showed me that the market is just too small.
