### 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.
