The middle between lethal intensity in the drug market and drug-business behavior remains a material of interest among social chemists. Although the current corpse of literature demonstrates powerful empirical evidence of systemic intensity, questions still endure as to the fundamental causal systems responsible for this violence. This study uses 10 age of prosecution data amassed at the county level to search whether drug-related killing is predictive of first-time drug-sale offending. Results from a combined cross-sectional time-order analysis suggest that new entrants are utilizing lethal violence to pierce the illegal drug retail. As drug-related homicides increase, the percentage of first-opportunity offenders being prosecuted for a drug-selling displeasure increases markedly. This friendship persists even after ruling for non-drug-related homicide. This verdict suggests that new drug sellers are generally using lethal intensity, possibly to help them gain entrance into a competitive drug retail.
