Friends and enemies
Well who can help us? Many of you won’t be interested in this shit but believe me you will wish you had been when you are reduced to pimping or some other half arsed business. There won’t be much cash to splash when the girls have got easy access to treatment or gear on prescription, let me tell you. So it is time you all took an interest.
The major danger are all those wise arses out there lobbying for change, they are growing in number and getting more mainstream. When they were a bunch of tie dyed hot rocked hippies, we had nothing to worry about, those idiots were helping us, even a junkie isn't going to take somebody high on pot seriously. Unfortunately some of them have grown up, put on a suit and found some friends who might be taken seriously. Even the Economist, I thought was a friend to the industry, is saying we need to be put out of business. Watch out for organisations involved in 'Harm Reduction' or 'Drug Policy', they are all front organisations trying to put us out of business.
Lucky for us there are a number of players out there helping us out. Globally the Catholic Church is doing a great job of keeping us in business. I guess they want to ensure there are enough sins and frightened people out there to keep their money rolling in. They don’t even want junkies to get clean needles, I approve strongly of fighting every battle against creeping legalisation and this is a great place to start.
Strangely the law enforcement business contains some of our best friends, where would their budgets be without us. And they might have some real work to do instead of picking up the idiots who buy and retail our products. Keeping the current situation is mutually beneficial, we have got to ensure that they all realise that and I know some of you guys are doing some great work in that area already.
In my opinion the best things we can do is to encourage those organisations and politicians which are intent on keeping us in business. Barack Obama is a potential disaster for all of us, we have got to see people like him coming and ensure their opponents get our full support. I am sure those doing business in the USA would give anything for a Regan or a Nixon at the moment. In terms of organisations look out for the ones that promote anything 'drug free'. If you haven't got one in your country then get some monkey to start one. Try looking at Australia and the USA they are doing great work there.
I will strive to keep you informed of friends and enemies through this group but I do have a business to run and any help along the way would be in the interests of all of us.

We're coming to get you
Too right you should be afraid for your trade. You've been able to monopolise the drug industry for far too long and the world is finally catching up with you. OK so the politicians might be a bit slow on the uptake, but the well-meaning, thinking public know that the most dangerous place for drugs are in hands like yours. They want governments to regulate and control drugs, not you.
It's true that so far the cartel bosses like you have been winning the war on drugs - though you must've lost a fair few soldiers along the way - but with the new man in the White House, and pressure from the public tired of seeing their tax cash wasted on rubbish drug policies, your livelihood is under threat. Noone will want to buy their drugs from the likes of you once they can get more ethically produced, better quality stuff more safely and cheaply. Now that's harm-reduction.
From across the pond
It's good to hear that you europeans are on this too. We are selling so much blow in the UK now and the recent fall in the pound has taken a real chunk out of our margins. We're thinking of making a move in the money markets to shove it up again, 10 - 20 billion usually moves it up a few points. We've got so much cash over here that splashing some change about is easy, maybe some to the Catholic church and some of those drug free gangs you mention - we got a real big one here. With all the business we're doing in the UK, I get to read the papers on the plane, I think a couple million for the Daily Male and a real big bonus for that Mandy Philips, that bitch is really with us - any of you guys got her number?
I see that the UK now has it's own FBI something like SOCA? If it looked with both hands it couldn't find its own butt hole!
Just in case any of you wise guys are thinking - I ain't no relation to Tony in Vienna!
