Attention Entrepreneurs

The freep is reporting that there is a cocaine shortage in The D. The market should be right for making money. The shortage is driving up prices and perhaps competition is lower as well. Any entrepreneur's dream market, Cha-Ching! Now all I need to do is lose my ethics, morals and find a sense of adventure (to jail or hell).

Although there was no way to strictly quantify the reports of the cocaine shortage, Walters' office said the average price of a kilogram of cocaine in Detroit was between $18,500 and $24,000 in the last three months of 2006 and has continued to rise substantially since then, by as much as 70%...

70%!!! A business with that type of growth may get you hired as the next Cerberus owned Corp's CEO.

Asked about the effect on crime a shortage and rising prices can have, [director of National Drug Control Policy for the Bush administration, John P.] Walters said that generally there is less violence when the drug market contracts and that if people can’t get cocaine, they are more likely to seek help for their addiction. The vast majority of drug-related violence, he said, is traced to people under the influence – and a shortage can mean fewer people using the drug.

Well good, as long as Bush's administration says it. Must be true.
