If pot was legalized nationwide all these drug runners would do is switch to cocaine and heroin.

Drug runners can't create demand by sheer force of will.

Drug runners can't create demand by sheer force of will.

They don't have to. Heroin use has been increasing all over the country - sadly. Kids get hooked on Oxycontin or some other medicine cabinet drug and find they can't afford it on the black market so they find they can get a dose of heroin for $5 instead of the $20-$50 for Oxy. Next thing you know they're hooked.
