That's interesting - it points to something special about drugs. Most people I know without jobs eat, but they're not inclined to become grocers to make a little on the side. It seems there's some scarcity introduced because dealing is illegal. The unintended consequence of legalization might be the elimination of the casual dealer.
- qz_ 9y agoI don't know about this. Weed is semi-legal in The Netherlands but people who deal "on the side" are still very common.
- xocyabencl 9y agoAre the "on the side" dealers selling the same stuff as the semi-legal dealers? Why does anyone not use the semi-legal dealers?
- phreeza 9y agoProbably something to do with the transaction costs and margins that can be achieved.
