Well, I doubt doing things legally will ever be cheaper than illegally.
I assume at some point the drug market will saturate and at that point why not use profits to expand into legal enterprises and push out any purely legal competitors?
- pc86 3y agoIt doesn't need to be cheaper when a possible outcome of the alternative is a bullet. There are always people who turn to illegalities because they're forced to, and would gladly make less money in order to lessen their chance of imprisonment or worse. The easier you make it to make a living legally, the more people will turn away from crime and the stronger they'll oppose it in general.

- Ajedi32 3y agoThat only works though if you approach the problem from both angles. Often attempts to create legal alternatives are accompanied by decreases in enforcement action against the illegal options (sometimes intentionally, sometimes as a natural consequence of the fact that you can no longer treat all possession as illegal).
