As a matter of fack she was late for a party that night because she had to hunt down more.
The drug trade and turf war is fueled by money. There is a high profit margin in drugs because they are a scarce/inaccesible commodity. You legalize a drug, it no longer becomes as scarce/inaccessible, and the profit margin shrinks considerably. So instead of dealing in the softer, legalized drug, the dealer adapts by selling the harder drugs with the high profit margin. The drug trade and violent turf wars continue.
