Drug Policy - the "final" whats your take on the future?

Lets say you make $20,000 a year & live in an shit hole apartment that costs $750 a month total with utilities. Leaving you with $11,000 a year for every other bill & cost of life.

You have come down with a bad case of arthritis or tendinitis for example.

What makes more sense.

a) get a oz of some mexican brick for $100 with delivery (that will last one month) for pain & feels great!

b) buy 2 stamp bags of smack a day for $20 *two doses* with delivery ($600 a month) and feels even greater!

b) make an appointment, see a specialist (with no healthcare) at $300 a month, who will then write you a prescription for a non opiate pain killer (since you're poor & thus an addict) for something like celebrex which is another $200 a month & is later found to cause heart failure because it was rushed through the FDA for some fat cats to get paid,....and it makes you feel like shit, you can barely tell that its having an effect on the pain, but its full of other side effects, which cause you to visit the emergency room at least one time a year ($4,000 minimum).

A) costs $1200 a year
B) costs $7200 a year
C) costs roughly $10,000 a year

A, B & C have roughly the same ratio of addiction issues.

A & B have been used successfully in one way or another for 1,000's of years.

C has been used commercially & questionably successful for no more than 50 years.

All drug related issues aside. Think like a computer. Which option makes the most logical sense?

And do you think logic will ever succeed in the United States, like in countries like Holland?
