Yeah but 40 years of mass incarceration have proven that enforcement and prohibition are counterproductive. We cannot enforce the Monopoly you speak of we've tried especially in such controlled circumstances as behind bars!https://twitter.com/HamasakiLaw/status/1402336179702226947?s=20 …

Government monopoly has never been tried and is likely the best route out of this wasteful hell. Enforce it? How long do you think an international manufacturing and distribution business can operate by losing money at every step of the process?

In prison there is an attempted government monopoly, black market is prevalent it has obviously failed. We have a government licensed monopoly outside too, it's just ineffective and counterproductive. Government monopoly by force has been tried for 50 years and has failed.

A prison is not the equivalent of a society. The government has never has a monopoly over this trade. We should try it because these substances are very unusual and should not be regulated by criminals and promoted by those who would seek to “grow the market”.

It is a government monopoly, which licenses corporate entities to help produce for it, and in prisons the government provides all the pain management as a monopoly they think they need, and there is a thriving black market in this heavily controlled environment. It doesn't work!

Why not? Seems like a society to me, maybe not a perfectly matched one to ours, but through this example we can know that vast increases in law enforcement in a community even as many as are in a jail and with killing any civil liberties, cannot effectively win the war on drugs.

And then you will also recognize that the population is entirely composed of alleged criminals and that the trade is also regulated by criminals, as it is outside of prison.

So you're saying that even in circumstances like a prison where cops are much more common they're still ineffective at eliminating the drug trade? No I don't think there's any coherent reason for us to imprison those we do.

The market remains regulated by the criminals, including in prison. I understand you do not.

Ok so can you define monopoly for me? because it sure seems like there is one behind bars, only one entity is legal to supply ànd that's enforced my pervasive police. Sure seems like what we have is a government monopoly on the medical trade and that's failed.
