Nobody steals air conditioners and scrap the coils out them to finance an alcohol habit. But heroin abusers do and a button (capsule) is about 6 to 10 dollars, so very cheap.

How long does a button last? 10 dollars of alcohol is enough to keep even a high-tolerance drinker happy for several days.

Putting these drugs in a free market venue opens up more opportunities for employee theft,

You can say that about any consumer good.

more opportunities for pharmacy robbery,

Prescription drugs is not a lightly-regulated free market.

and Walgreens definitely does not want customers shooting up and dying on their parking lot.

My goal is to end the violence associated with the illicit narcotics trade and the over expansion of the government.

I would prefer that those narcotics be distributed in single venues with onsite usage at little or no cost to the user with the taxpayer expenditure offset with the savings in smaller government bureaucracies or outright elimination of some.

I am intimately aware of the lengths that citizens are prepared to go through to get something they must pay for and must have lest they become very ill. I offer my idea so the victimization of law abiding citizens by those involved in the drug trade is minimized greatly.
