- It should also be pointed out that such drugs as cocaine, heroin, etc,
- are not at all that expensive to produce in the first place. There's no
- need to use tazpayer money to provide them for free to addicts-- when
- addicts could buy for ten or twenty dollars an amount of pure,
- unadulterated chemical that would have cost them 700-1000 dollars in the
- black market.
-
- All that needs to be done is to decriminalize their use and sale, and
- give doctors the power to perscribe them and to supervise people who want
- to use them. No state subsidy is required.
