Subject: RE: BS: Opium from Afghanistan
"Riginslinger following your plan what happens to the number of "users" now that it is both cheap and legal - does that number go up or down? Who then caters for the existing customers if the number of those growing it drops? If the number of those growing it and refining it drops then supply declines and prices must go up. Far, far too many contradictions."


          The "users" simply take care of their own problems. Opium then becomes a commodity in what the Republicans laughingly call a "free market economy." If the price goes down, fine--if the price goes up, fine. Why would anybody care as long as their tax dollars weren't being wasted in a hopeless attempt to try to control the stuff.
