To put this in more general terms,
any time restrictions are removed
from any enforced law, be it
poaching, shoplifting, etc., the
natural reaction is to be able to
do something that was once against
the law. If drug possession is
made legal, what happens to the
guy selling it? His market,
without a doubt, will expand,
as drugs will become more user
friendly.

Nonsense. Is the illegality of heroin or meth YOUR primary reason for not using them? It's way down on my list.

You didn't answer my question. Note that using heroin or meth has grave intrinsic harms, which is not the case with shoplifting (unless an armed shopowner catches you).
