    So, selling a pure product that's cheaper than an impure product is going to massively dent the market.

    Are you dealing with the outcome or the argument, I say you can't win this. Doesn't really matter what you do. But again, and again, it's currency, and as currency it is much more dangeroud then a few junkies.

    The underpinnings of cocaine / heroin links with its real world price. If you flood the market, the price goes down. So the value as a currency is undermined. Zimbabwe has a currency. Doesn't mean it has any worth.

    Cocaine and heroin not a big market? It is the very currency of the black market worldwide.
    I think he meant the illegal tobacco market , so he is wrong as it is actually a huge industry and very very lucrative .

    Good point. Looked at from another angle, the "llegal tobacco market" isn't actually that at all, but rather a "huge luxery tax-avoidance market". The product is the same whether bought from Los Angles or Moldovia; the difference is the tax-based price (and who gets the profits).
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
