Alcohol and tobacco are legal in many countries and yet you still get counterfeits and illegal production.
Also drug use is often not down to that user having a fair happy reality and oh so often the product of bigger issues that go untackled and addressing those social injustices would do far more to address crime overall than just legalising drugs.
Now if they legalised drugs and used that tax income to address those social issues, then we would see progress and more so, some fairness restored.
- Scoundreller 5y agoWe’ve legalized marijuana in Canada. While the illegal market is still pretty big (likely over 50% by volume), the illegal prices have cratered. So you don’t just have a big shift out of the black market, but what’s left of the black market has also been decimated, and spends more on marketing/quality/experience.
