If I was buying by the once, things could be different? You can buy grams of marijuana from the store for $6.

But that’s my whole point. What law-abiding, safety-conscious, respectable, middle-class citizens would do is not what heavy drug users and addicts choose to do. Making policy based on what
we would do in their situation is foolish. I would choose the safe opioid option. But addicts will choose whichever gets them most wasted. As Street Pharmacist warns, that may well mean pocketing the safe, government-issued stuff, selling it, then buying something much more potent (and dangerous) off the street.
