The bar owners and alcohol purveyors are socially, legally responsible for their patrons intoxicated behavior. Let opium sellers maintain locations subject to public scrutiny, where they encourage social behavior, and are medically liable for their patrons.

Certainly take all the profit out of it. That profit today is being used to buy guns, violence, and lawlessness. I want to spend societies money elsewhere. What we have in San Francisco is hardly my definition of a free market, let legal public comment shape these businesses.

Markets operate on profits so a free market solution couldn’t take all of the profit. There may be other forms of control over the trade that could work.
