### Drug addicts do damage in pursuit of the next high mainly because of the
artificially inflated drug prices. If crack was available at cost+reasonable
profit, they could sustain their habit by occasionally cutting a lawn (and
they would, I am sure). I fully agree with Amara - the state should not
regulate drug intake by adults, except if absolutely unavoidable to limit
access to drugs by adolescents, who are at the highest risk for becoming
addicted.
