What if the price of dope was left to supply and demand? It would be dirt cheap. Cheap Dope=Less Crime.
Indeed, heroine should be made as cheap and as close to free as possible. There is nothing that would do more damage to drug cartels and to domestic pushers and than cheap drugs such as heroin. If we are really concerned about the innocent victims of drug crime, if we understand that we are pushing victimhood away from the user onto the innocent bystander with our policy of criminalization, you might have safer streets and fewer drug pushers.
