Wayne, and even worse than street dealers are doctors who over prescribe to junkies. We don't expect a street dealer to have your health in mind.

"...and its potential to be the cause of criminal activities required to fund the addiction." >>> If currently illegal drugs were legalized, their prices would drop to the cost of production + a free market profit margin (narrow, given that barriers to competition are so low)... and there would be little more need for 'criminal activities' to fund their purchase... than for criminal activities to fund the purchase of a loaf of bread, or a 6-pack of beer. "Drug dealers should be used as fertilizer." >>> Should that include tobacco farmers and manufacturers?
