So once released from prison or jail these criminals have debts that they have to repay and no way to pay them. So what is the answer? Crime is the answer.

Freelance dealers tend to only sell marijuana and hallucinogens, like LSD and Ecstasy (Levinthal, 2012). Business dealers will tend to sell whatever drugs are most popular at that time.

So this does not mean that drugs can only be in the form of pill, tablet, oral solution, and injection drugs can also in the form of tobacco that contains nicotine, or drinkable substance such as coffee and tea that contains caffeine and beer that contains alcohol.
