"After 60 or so years of Prohibition, they've got the price down to kiddie levels."Well, well, well. They got the price down and they didn't have to legalize it to do it.
The one good thing will be that there will be no more crime by heroin users stealing to support their habit. Not at these prices, right MrLeRoy?

I think there will always be crime assosiated with drugs, regardless of their legality. A black market encourages organized crime, though, in a way that a free market does not.
i.e., people still steak beer, or get liquored up and attack others, but the vendors aren't doing drive-by shootings anymore.

Straw man #2. I never claimed that crime by heroin users stealing to support their habit would completely disappear at ANY price.
