Your argument about legalizing drugs to make the price come down in the context of economics is missing a big peice of why the price changes. Remeber supply and demand. The price is what it is as a result of the demand Vs supply. Legalize it and the supply goes way up to meet demand and the price comes down. Addiction drives demand as more and more get hooked on crack and so goes supply to regulate the price on the curve.

So your theory that driving the price down hurts terrorist is liberal logic.

Addiction drives demand as more and more get hooked on crack and so goes supply to regulate the price on the curve.

Do you believe that legalization would lead to a large surge in addictions? Curious. Do you think there are more alcoholics than there were under/because of prohibition?

How do you know what the demand is? Would you use any type of drug because it became legal? I know i wouldn't because I have/had no desire to use it. Again, it's a baseless argument to say more people would try it. Why do you ignore the other countries where it's been legalized where they aren't having a problem with increased addiction?
