In the case of drugs, it was getting out of hand.. it would have crippled the country.

The selling of drugs was escalating out of proportion and associated crime for those to purchase on the streets was climbing.

He took a firm hand, peddle drugs you will get stopped... no playing around.

The choice is yours, take a chance or find another occupation.
