SOUTH AMERICAN DRUG TRAFFICKERS BACKLASH AGAINST MARIJUANA LEGALISATION IN URUGUAY: “PROPOSED PRICES ARE SHARKISHLY COMPETITIVE”

Drug cartel unions going on strike?
The recent legalisation of marijuana in Uruguay has come under fire from anonymous groups claiming that private and family run illegal drug-trafficking enterprises could soon become “unviable” unless a swift reversal is made to the new law. The Uruguayan government has proposed selling the drug legally at 1 US dollar a gram, a move that sparked both anger and confusion in rival cartels, calling it "callous price fixing".
Enrique Falsetto, ex-convict and cartel head complains the government price is “unfair” and “sharkishly competitive”, and that "legalising is a big mistake" as it puts "honest drug gangs out of business".
"They want to push us out of Uruguay by strangling our business", claimed one Legarto Feliz gang member "but we're not moving without filing an orderly complaint".
Two other gangs, White Wings and Thunder Clap Beasts, have taken the case to the UN, claiming "it makes no sense just to sit around and do nothing" and that they will "fight square fistedly to knock down this jolly un-fair pricing regime”.
