Local drug market research

[Osmosis Vanderwaal]

I'd love to help but the scope is so large and the US itself is so large and varied. The 50 states are virtually 50 countries. Alaska by itself would be the 18th country ranked by size. CALIFORNIA would be the 5th largest economy OF ALL COUNTRIES BY ITSELF! Texas has a larger economy than Russia Canada or France. The Dea is the fear of the world there's absolutely no mainstream illicit drug advertising. Even so the illegal drug market in the US HAS AN estimated value of as much as$750 billion dollars a year . Drug circles are often ethnic and also tight. I have to get a black man to buy my cocaine. I send a Mexican American to get the meth. I'm not joking. know the people but there is an absolute rule against selling it to a white man. The Caucasians I know are small potatoes. I can't crack the drug market and get that information. I can't find groups I can't get anyone to comment. Then multiply that x 50.

I don't know,the west coast isn't like that so much. I mean, I've wrote on here before about the different regio s definitely being different culturally and having different outlooks or stances on different substances. Your description seems very much like certain Midwest areas or east coast for sure. The west coast is more open, hell Washington State decriminalized possession of all drugs couple years ago! There's dealers that advertise and maybe not half, but a large number anyways, will take crypto right there on the street.

 

[Osmosis Vanderwaal]

I agree, of course. The west Coast might as well be a different country from the rest of the US. Decriminalization and harm reduction policies are far more in practice. I am in the Midwest and the policies and tactics of law enforcement are down right archaic. For instance, if you are caught selling virtually any Cns active substance, you face a decade in prison, Even if you aren't selling illegal drugs. You only have to believe you were and you are guilty. To be more specific, they only have to get you to say that you believed you were selling drugs. If you were selling L-meth, which is not illegal, they are under no obligation to tell you that. They will send you to prison for selling over the counter drugs if you don't know how to argue the point

 

[PseudoMicroGravity]

I agree with frit, a lot of the specifics you are requiring just are not relevant to my country. I was really excited about the opportunity to research and write for BB, until I read all of the requirements. There are no drug delivery companies in the US, drug dealers here do not advertise, local dealers don't take crypto, etc. Frits' explanation is pretty comprehensive and explainatory.

 

[InnocentBystander23]

Is it inappropriate for me to ask what area you are hypothetically describing (you know, in a made up story where all the names have been changed to protect the nefarious lol and is not based on real prosecutable incidents or times). I only ask cuz I'm wondering how different people in the same areas can experience things also. See my comment on Frit's above message.

I'm an Oakey!

@Frit Buchner @PseudoMicroGravity​

If you read carefully, the research only covers EU countries and the UK. We are well aware of the difficulties that will arise when writing such a research on the USA. We will also be conducting a large research on the USA, possibly on different states.

 

[Osmosis Vanderwaal]

California really does operate like a different country. It would probably be fair to just call the west coast it's own entity. CALI OREGON and Washington have had decriminalization of weed for decades and harm reduction drug policies where they just take your drugs and don't arrest you. They routinely defy federal law. It might as well be a different planet

 

[TheWaterman]

California
Texas
Florida
These are really the only practicable states to come through. The north in Canada is very tough on On the borders so you have to look south. Mexico easy to bring in and at this particular time no one is stopping them really from bringing them in. It is the golden age of smuggling.

 

[PseudoMicroGravity]

Allright Heisenberg, this being the case I would like to give the USA a shot. With the understanding that it would require a more in-depth, state specific report in the future in order to give a complete picture, as well as the fact that some of the specifics you requested will not be applicable to my country or included in my report. I believe I could come up with something in which you might approve. What do you think? Can I give it a shot?

 

[SoldadoDeDrogas]

For USA it might be a good idea to do it by region, perhaps. A group of 5 maybe 6 possibly more of us could give the summary of the whole picture of the nation in general. North east, south east, midwest/ central, north west, south west. Basically, Boston/RI/CT also NY/NJ, Florida/ATL, Chicago/detriot/lakes area, TX/MX border, Cali/southwest, Washington state/Oregon. A good chunk of the trade is from Philly/Baltimore/DC too.. as well as a huge, if not thee, shipping hub.

I'd be willing to chip in on this one with my fellow BBgaters. Seems like quite a daunting project... or it could be. The gentleman by the name of @magnesium_sulphate in LT really knocked that one outta the park, hats off to em'. Ačiū, broliukas.

(Sorry Pseudo - didn't mean to reply to you specifically.)

 

[malayboy]

Do my research first before you expending to Malaysia

 

[mandoel]

I’m expert in the local market, specially in indonesia

 

[abbadon]

Is there already a country finished, to take a look at the finalized study, as a example?

 

[HEISENBERG]

Yes, France is ready. I'll post it within 24 hours.

 

[HEISENBERG]

Those interested can read French market research from @Magicshroom and @France2

Messaged you regarding Republic of Lithuania

Dear research paper writers, please look at this paper as an example of what we would like to see from you.
[Poland] Drug Market Analysis
I think that anyone who wants to start a business in Poland should read this paper.

 

[TheWaterman]

Well I am in california and can attest to the fact that although many things were decriminalized by the state this was not the case with the federal govt. The legalization in california in particular made it much more difficult to operate because the president at the time, bush #2 left the DEA to handle this and they decided they would pursue cases againsr growers in particular.
As to borders on the north and south of us it is simple to enter Mexico but to get back with a car involves a search about a third of the time if you can’t prove your trip was business related. The northern border is tight as a drum except in a single spot that I have found. If you try to hike in or use off-road veichle they have motion detecting cameras the length of the border. I have to say that I believe Canada’s customs to be in the rarefied air of sudtrailias

 

[TheWaterman]

What you have in the USA is local govt actually taxing the stiluff trade and the federal government prosecuting the same. We’re I a remote 3rd party getting drugs into North America there is only a few choices, by boat is safest or by shipping stealthily. Everything else is too involved. Also Washington and Oregon are about 2 push away from decriminalizing hard drugs as we speak.

HMU when you begin on the US East Coast and I'll get my thinking cap on

 

[prophet]

I believe that in certain rural parts of the US, with intersecting highways such as areas close to many university towns within a couple hours of multiple major cities have some potential for private dead drops and or storage locations. Locals in such areas that could introduce dead drops could benefit the anonymous system as a whole and connect areas that are unknown and overlooked yet that have great potential. I use dead drops on a small scale in my area where I own hundreds of acres of rural property and it is great for privacy, and reduces the chance of being observed since there is no one within 10 miles to do any observation.

 

[KurtV989]

I am in one of these 'magic zones' and hungry to get started

 

[prophet]

It would sure make things easier, especially where I am located. The midwest is a large and lucrative area with so many rural areas who need reliable vendors as well as a safe and anonymous system of "product management". Lots of demand and no good supply equals high prices and what supply there is, is usually not good

 

[KurtV989]

I can imagine how tough it must be with the wide expanses. you're definitely lucky to basically have a 'compound' though lol
