- I doubt it -- where's the incentive? They're not going to make any
- profit, because of the general availability...the only advantage to purchasing
- drugs from a licensed addict (?) would be the clandestine aspect, and with the
- drugs described, I doubt that's as much of a problem...regardless, it's still a
- guaranteed safe supply at a fixed price, so the violence of "bad shit" deaths
- and the sale violence don't occur...

- And non-criminal. I doubt your assertion here; sounds to me like
- they're much more employable, and much more reliable if they are...I doubt the
- British dish out cash to drug addicts who refuse to work -- this seems like a
- standard religious right wool-over-eyes motion here...

- NOT! The vast majority of Amerikans are afraid to come out and say
- so, but given drug use in this country (both legal and illicit) it seems
- Amerikans are voting in a different way...tell me that 51% or more of this
- country is drug free - not!
