Guy Lawson: Self

Quotes 

• Guy Lawson : One of the things that is important about the drug debate - it's put in terms of cultural signifiers, but never looked at as a commercial, straight-up business. There is a corporate mentality to drug dealing, it is an industry, the same size as the airline industry in the United States - a fifty billion dollar industry - it has all the textures, the modalities, the integrations: horizontal and vertical. The War on Drugs has been lost. People who are against some form of decriminalisation, or a least addressing the essence of the question, are just throwing Mexico to the wolves for their own righteous reasons.
