Is this president extremely concerned about drug dealers and gangs in the US?

Why is he pardoning a drug trafficker?

Don't online drug marketplaces lead to reduced gang activity?

One does not need a gang and violence to sell drugs online. Selling drugs offline, gangs and violence will get involved.

There are gangs and violence all along the supply chain. The online marketplace only removes the last (few hundred) miles.

So it's much safer for customers and will likely reduce drug violence?

It's not that simple. It might still be a net negative if it increases drug demand by ease of access.

I don't think you increase demand by ease of access.

Also buying bitcoin, exchanging to Monero, installing Tor, understanding the risks, etc. Is much more work than just finding the next dealer.
