True, but the analysis is a little simplistic. For example, nobody would ever sell a product like cocaine at “pharmaceutical cost” even if it were legal. It’s price would be set by the same market forces that set prices for other goods. So, it would probably fall somewhere between the $20 and $1000 figure.

True, but not many markets will support a 5000% markup either.

Heroin can be had for as little as $5.

Do not confuse these boys with rationality or reason.

They’d like to stay in their drugged out stupor, with blissful thoughts of utopia if drugs were just legalized.
