Today it occured to me, the average bag of heroin is $5, and a bag of weed is $10. Someone who wants to go to a party, and get high, who only has $5, would choose heroin over nothing. Heroin, generally speaking, is a bad choice to make in life.

Meth, I don't know the prices of, but I'm pretty sure its cheaper than pot too.

Perhaps the war on drugs cannot be won, perhaps we can't force every single person in society to go to work or school instead of altering their consciousness. But maybe we can save lives, save innocent people from dying, and save healthy minds from faltering.

I'm in Canada, where the government grows pot. There is also a shitload of meth in vancouver, and a shitload of coke, crack, and horse in Toronto. If the government offered $100 of pot for $10 of anything else, we could win the war on drugs. It wouldn't even cost that much, since "$100" of pot wouldn't really cost the government $100.
