      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.

      Competition can vastly reduce it however. Certainly enough so, that the reason for violence over it is eliminated. Few people get killed in the tobacco or alcohol trade today, thats what we should emulate.

      Given that alcohol may be the greatest destroyer of lives, my strong assumption is that this is absolutely not the model to be emulated.

      But bar owners buy sound systems, not automatic firearms. They listen to community feedback and care for their patrons. Seems worth emulating to me, prohibition of alcohol certainly wasn't.

      These substances are uniquely life destroying, so I believe there’s another way that should be tried before letting the free market do what its largely done with alcohol.

      Government monopoly. Manufacturing, distribution, zero marketing, massive investment in effective treatment for addiction... With the objective of REDUCING consumption and ultimately going OUT of business. Something no free marketer would ever consider.

      Do you think there would still be a black market in this circumstance?

      If the prices were kept low, probably not much. Who would want to engage in a business with great legal risk and little, if any, profit?

      Replying to @_Z__ @chesaboudin

      I'm not sure the government is a efficient enough entity to keep the prices low, and I sure would like the purveyor of these fine substances to be medically responsible for the consequences of their use, and I certainly do not want to be held so as a taxpayer.

      “Efficiency” and profits is not what this very unusual market needs. And “responsibility” and substance abuse is a very tricky subject, isn’t it?

          I as a taxpayer certainly don't want to be subsidize the drug usage which is what I would argue what we are now doing with prohibition. I am not anxious to lurch from one subsidy to another. Maybe let the market and public discourse have a moment?

          As a taxpayer, how do you propose not multiplying the devastation the alcohol industry model has wrought on society?
