Great input, Ben. So you're saying that the STIGMA of a drug is in proportion to the PRICING of that drug? If heroin were, unit for unit, the same price as pot, there'd be less incentive to rob or commit crime for the habit.
Other than pricing issues, is there any other basis for differentiation regarding social stigma?
