In 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸, vast time, energy, and financial resources are used to prevent organized crime from trafficking drugs that contribute to disease and death. Yet, both countries profit (in the billions) from the sale of alcohol, tobacco, and (some) pharmaceuticals that contribute to disease and death. 😵💫
