Essay topic on drugs for AP economics class

  1. Hi every one,
    I am into about my 3rd week of this economics class im taking in my senior year and we recieved a choice of essay topics to write about (1k words) and one of them was:

    In spite of the best efforts of law enforcement agencies, the illegal drug market is so efficient that the street price of drugs is actually falling while illegal drug usage imposes high costs on the economy. Would making drugs freely available to proven addicts through clinics be a more effective method of dealing with the drug problem?

    What do you guys think?
     
  2. haha the price of anything never falls unless the demand falls

    and the demand for some good dank NEVER falls

    but i think you have a good chance to make some good points on why bud should be legal, smoke a fat one, and run with it
     
  3. Just a thought, why not argue against both the current laws and "making it available for addicts". No one should be classified an addict just cause he/she smokes a little weed, and It would not reduce the black market(I don't know about the rest of the smokers here but I'm not about register as an addict just to get my reefer) gov's already knows more than they need to. Also, how would a pot smoker prove he's an addict when MJ is not a narcotic and is not physically addicting.
