That's ridiculous, Lob. If there were no demand, there would be no
dealer. Fix the -addicts- and the dealers will die off. Execute the
dealers for all their other crimes, though.

If there is no supply ...

If there is a profitable demand, there will be a supply.

Say, whatever happened to stopping the flow from Afghanistan. Taliban was
better at that.

The Taliban banned cultivation and shut off the flow of Afghan opium/heroin
base temporarily to sell off a backlog of supply and drive up prices. But
they never stopped the traffic and continued to tax it. They were most
serious about stopping opium production only in areas where their opposition
was strong, but opium/heroin continues to be a major source of revenue for
the Taliban.
