Your tone seems very uncalled for.

All I am arguing is that if you prosecute people from selling drugs, or make more regulations, fewer people will sell drugs - at a higher price.

It shouldn't matter people are cunts, if they have competition they will have to provide better satisfaction.

As of now, american people are prohibited from importing drugs, and that's exactly what utter cunts lobby and fight for.

Which just doesnt happen in countries with stricter regulated medical markets. Quite the opposite, it happens in the US, thats what this article is about. Its a nice theory but not something that can be observed in reality.

Looking at the other drug market, not only does this not stand up, but also the quality is a crapshoot.

The other drug market has fewer people selling than otherwise, at a higher price (for the quality) than otherwise.

I'm not sure how you are able to the opposite conclusion.

Being a street corner crack dealer in many US cities has so much competition, that it pays below minimum wage.
The trouble is that many of those regulations exist for very good reasons.

Dropping enough of those regulations to encourage competition is a baby with the bathwater kind of situation.
