Liberals call drug dealers "non-violent offenders, " but the reality is it's not a non-violent act.

It takes an evil person to be a drug dealer. Okay, maybe not marijuana, but things like ice or rock or Flakka. Drug dealers know they're ruining people's lives, they're essentially killing people. They're not non-violent offenders.

By that same logic you will need to call every fast food chain and tobacco retailer "a violent criminal" as well.

@DearAmbellina2113 I would agree that tobacco retailers are evil. I find it hypocritical that Walmart stopped gun sales because of mass shootings that occurred in a few of their stores but they're selling a product that caused lung cancer and and other cancers .

I wouldn't say fast-food, because even though fast-food joints sell high calorie foods, the fastfood companies aren't really encouraging people to engage in gluttony. I mean, they're just selling cooked food. And I know there are also medical reasons that play into factor.

If someone jumps off of a bridge, does that make the construction workers who built it violent criminals?

They’re just supplying a demand. People should be allowed to ruin their lives if they want to.

@MorbidCynic I agree with part of what you're saying. It may work there but it won't work here. We have this country called Mexico and we can't even stop people from coming across the border.

Borders should be open to all people anyway. @SW-User

I dont agree with calling it violence as thats like the folk that say talking about opinions they don't like is violence/agression speech.

I agree with the sentiment of what you're saying though, they're ruining peoples lives who they're selling to and funding the people who ruin the peoples lives who grow it or are killed in relation to it.
EG. cartels.

Drug dealers are the middlemen for the cartels. They don't just sell their product. In many instances they try to create new drug addicts amongst young, vulnerable people by giving them free addictive product.

Because the result of dealing drugs is societal breakdown, personal destruction and the proliferation of gang culture and violence, I would say that drug dealers must continue to be convicted and incarcerated, as they were in the past.

Pablo Escobar by the way you are thinking would have made a great pope

I think telling grown adults what they can and can't put into their own bodies is violence
