Drug traffickers are usually the poor who want to make fast bucks, as Rexdriver said. Bored rich people use drugs to pass time and bring feelings into their unfeeling lives. Poor traffickers don't want to get addicted.. plus, drugs are expensive. Why waste the time & money when they could be out there making money selling drugs instead?

The trafficker is usually some poor soul from some impoverished family who earns no more than a few hundred dollars for carrying the drugs. Yes, that's the one we're hanging.
The rich men who earn the millions are the drug lords who sit in the comfort of their mansions in some faraway land and probably do indulge in drugs themselves, along with a myriad of vices.
So right. People just want to see something take responsibility for the drug problem. The trafficker makes for an easy scapegoat.. the drug lord is almost immune. We *appear* to tackle the problem when in effect we're only just dusting the surface to make it look clean.
It's amazing how different the rules are when one has money and power.
