"Street" selling is the bottom of the chain and can be accomplished through purchasing from prostitutes, through cloaked retail stores or refuse houses for users in the act located in red-light districts which often also deal in paraphernalia, dealers marketing merriment at night clubs and other events, or directly from dealers who have purposefully engaged adolescents (typically). Many users sell in order to fund their own drug use. Although most are in it for the monetary outcome, some view narcotics dispensing and consumption as a means of insurrection and orchestrate it for that cacoethes. They refrain from intensive processing and abstain from umpteen 'business' practices. Although most dealers market to a changeless customer base, these mavericks may be overly advertised on hacker/phreaker/drug/etc. forums and between friends and cohorts.

The drugtraffic has many benefits for Syria and its leaders, and is also a means of control over internal Lebanese politics, because most of the Lebanese military are or were implicated in this drugtraffic.
Syria's regulation of the drugtraffic enabled the Lebanese and Syrian trafficker to establish well-determined "routes" for the dispatching of the drug, to see that the concerned countries are aware of all their activities, and also to better divide the money.
Technically, a country that traffics in drugs is a country that cultivates annually 5000 or more hectares of illegal cannabis (marijuana) or 1000 hectares of opium or coca.
