Defenders of the war on drugs often throw in an economic【S2】. It has been【S3】because it curtails(削减)use by raising street prices. It does this because suppliers have to be compensated for the risk of imprisonment and other punishments. It may be true that high prices have【S4】the demand for drugs, but the fact remains that most illegal drugs remain popular and【S5】, regardless of price. More important, any【S6】in the number of addicts and other users has come with an enormous price label. The US alone spends almost $ 40 billion annually waging the drug war, and other countries also spend big sums.

Although legalization would make drugs cheaper and more【S9】available, sales to minors could be discouraged by harsh punishments and by restricting【S10】sales to fixed shops.
