As someone who likes narcotics, I can only say a guy like that is something of a hero to me. If only we weren't too overly greedy, all would be well.
You for real?
@@anthonyinzerillo2804 Yes MOST of the initially only one single handful of organic substances they started to call 'drugs' whilst using that word in a different capacity than its original meaning 'medically applied stuff', in fact ARE (or at least CAN be) beneficial.
I’ll agree with you on weed and gambling and sex work. But the fentanyl in Philly is outta hand.. but also that’s the cartel (kinda) now among, the Russians & Albanians…
@@JustinAndCars fentanyl only exists because of the Iron Law of Prohibition. if we kept opium legal there’d be morphine. and so on with heroin, and then fentanyl. prohibition didn’t work for booze - it made it deadlier and caused mob violence. same with drugs. don’t be an idiot - RE-legalize EVERYTHING.
And that is why pot heads are idiots
I think Joey Merlino is cool. He was under Scarfa for awhile. Scarfa was a murdering mad man when he was boss. Then Stanfa like the old guard but he cool too. I like the way he carries himself. So mafia.
It's scarfo.
