But that's impossible! Just the other day, a libertarian was telling me about how drug addicts don't harm anyone but themselves.

How many muggings do you think a drug addict would have to commit if cocaine were $3.69/lb.?

What makes you think the cost of drugs would ever go down so low?

If drugs were legalized, their price would collapse. Do you think that marijuana or cocaine plants are fragile or difficult to cultivate? Without governmental restrictions, cocaine would cost approximately the same to manufacture and import as other tropical organic products such as sugar. Hence my price of $3.69/lb. for Colombian cocaine. Hopeless addicts could overdose to death, but they could do it on a McDonald's wage.
