Supply and demand and cocaine

Suppose no one in the U.S. used cocaine.  Suppose the market wasn’t there.  Would anyone be shipping cocaine from Venezuela to the U.S.  Of course not.  


Are we perhaps punishing the wrong people?  I’m certainly not an expert on this, but  I have never heard of someone holding a gun to the head of a person and demanding that he sniff cocaine up his nose.  This whole thing needs to be reevaluated.


And please please don’t give me that song about it being a sickness.  Is there anyone left in this country that doesn’t know that cocaine is a habit-forming drug?  Really?
