The possible negotiation b) in an anti-prohibitionist context it would have completely different premises amd goals. Above all, the premise is that the mafia, the mafias, are not an octopus with hundreds of tentacles, but a Hydra with a hundred heads, and therefore a negotiation with a few traffickers would in no case solve the problem. Furthermore, a legalization of prohibited drugs would deprive them of any commercial value; consequently the trade would end very quickly and drug dealers would lose, along with their profit, their reason for existing. From one day to the other the State and it's legal officials would have to deal with scores of former drug traffickers (a part of which would, of course, continue to be involved in parallel criminal activities such as extortion, swindling, homicide for the purpose of theft) with which, after legalization, there would be little to negotiate with. Now we see that a negotiation is meaningful only before legalization, and it's goal can only be to reduce opposition

of the drug dealers and of their agents inside Government, Parliaments and the State itself to legalization.

I would therefore like to answer our interlocutor's question in the following way: no to whatever negotiation within prohibitionism, not only out of legal reasons, but because useless if not harmful (it would soon create new bosses); perhaps, but it should be carefully verified, (and I hope Agorà will help us to better define this context) as a premise to a strong anti-prohibitionist policy against crime and the political crime engendered by the current laws.
