what if the government conspiracy theories really are true?

On the 4th July 2008 the government proposed new strategies to combat organised crime. It was announced in a news broadcast later that evening, and though the nature of this new strategy was not disclosed in the report it was stated that plans were set to be implemented in the coming September. Subsequently after this broadcast, nothing else was seen or heard of these plans.
The following spring, in March 2009, a new recreational drug was in wide use by society’s subculture. D-40, known as D or Dapplegrim to its users had been gaining popularity for the last few months, but was now in wide circulation. What was remarkable about this drug was its low price. It was also particularly easy to get hold of.
The main distributors of D-40 were the gangs, infiltrating the masses with their dealers and drug barons. It was unclear where they sourced their wares; some claimed to obtain large shipments from overseas or via drug mules, others declared they were manufacturing D-40 in private laboratories. Only one fact remained staid; D-40 was everywhere and it was attracting record number of users every week.
Cut to the 22nd of September, 2009. Up until this point D-40 had tentatively been given an unofficial class C rating by the law, however, activist groups had been petitioning for months to have it reclassified. Recent evidence suggested the drug caused long-term health detriment; several reports documented deaths through overdose and increased likelihood of suicide while under the influence. However, a large majority of people claimed these reports to be false. Ongoing investigation into the affects of D-40 continue.
In the sprawling metropolis of Langley, D-40 is rife amongst the subculture and crime syndicates continue to grow wealthy from its sale. The law is fighting a losing battle to crack down on its use; when one source successfully dries up three more appear in its place. Why does the government do nothing? Why do the petitions of activist groups go unread? For now, we can only speculate.
