I don't know how you're making that connection.

They're looking to change policies that are obviously outdated and noneffective against dealing with the results of an organized crime-led drug economy.

This isn't a magic bullet that will prevent the import of chemicals used in the manufacture of drugs like methamphetamine, and no one is claiming it is.

The argument is that if you're going to be spending a bunch of money on targeting and eliminating the access to drugs, you probably shouldn't be seeing a reduction in price and improved availability.

As problematic as cocaine, opiates, methamphetamines and pharmaceutical drugs are, the currency of organized crime in this province is marijuana in exactly the same way it was during Alcohol Prohibition.
