For creating a safe community, would the strategy be to crack down first on the most violent and dangerous criminal endeavors? Or to go after those most brazenly violating laws, such as structured markets like 'Xalisco black tar' How does a drug market like this intersect with the selected enforcement techniques Mr Kleinman has discussed.

Increasing raids, arrests, and penalties on users and a general rise in intrusiveness by the police. The public will demand it and law enforcement will promise them the only solution is to go after anyone the market has come in contact with.

I'd like a pony too.

That is, it would seem to have far less of a blighting effect on communities, contra the open air drug markets you've written about previously.
