A tiny drop in the bucket in the drug trade.But at least for these specific captured drugs, they will not be entering the market and contributing to more suffering and death. To really make a difference address the root of the problem. Buying illegal drugs and feeding the drug purchases.
All that killing and violence just so some (sick) people can feel goofy for a couple hours. Sad.
