Research

•The econonomics of drug trafficking

Even though legalizing drugs might increase the number of addicts, “the child shot in a slum pass-by-shooting is an innocent victim in all respect of the word, [while] the person who decides to take drugs on his own is not an innocent victim” (Friedman, 1991).
