In this country, over 90% of all violent crime is drug-related, whether directly or indirectly. The US has a serious drug problem. Even during the mid-70's when interdiction efforts slowed drug smuggling to a trickle for a couple years, people started to smoke rope, sniff glue, inject extract of banana peel, you name it. Whatever it is that drives Americans to lose themselves in drugs indirectly causes most of the violence here.
