    Trees and wildflowers line a lane that leads to a cluster of buildings that house a pool table, a 12-seat movie theater and an art studio. A yacht is moored nearby.

        And they'll just move down the chain to cheaper drugs.

        In a rough Emergency Department in MA, one kid told me that he became a heroin addict because a hit of heroin (4$) was cheaper than a joint (5$). Now that is a market economy.
