As I've already stated more than once, I accept that some people, maybe many, will switch to officially controlled stuff (which is a good thing) but there will be those who don't and the logical reaction of the dealers will be to fight back. I'd imagine cost will be a major factor in who does what and that's why many people are walking around our towns and cities smoking cheap adulterated fags and drinking cheap adulterated booze despite the very well known dangers of so doing. That's the main reason they'd buy ICI produced XTC or cocaine from a dealer as opposed to Boots and unless that's dealt with the problem will remain and the **** involved will adapt their businesses just like they always do.
Anyway we seem to be going round in circles so like I said, we'll just have to beg to differ on this and accept that only time will tell. Just don't hold your breath waiting for the UK turning into Holland anytime soon...

I'm not hoping it to turn into the Netherlands any time soon .
Since you're the one suggesting that all sorts of stuff might happen if we lift prohibition I'm asking you to back it up with facts,figures and research.
My facts are the Lifting of alcohol prohibition and the Dutch Cannabis model.
