Whilst I do agree there is one distinct difference.We don't have Booze and Fag 'dealers' shooting each other in our streets,terrorising whole estates and destabilising entire countries.
With fags and even more so booze people mostly choose the legal option. The difference to drugs is there is a choice!
The drugs market is entirely in the hands of criminals with no no quality control or regulatory body.Disputes are always being fisty-cuffed,stabbed-,or shot-out in the streets.... no solicitors here!
So yes,there will probably remain a small black market but the overwhelming majority of dealers large and small will have to look for new sources of income.
