According to the article "Against the Legalization of Heroin" by Peter De Marneffe, the author mentions that there will be down of the drug prices and that leads to allow many poor and young people to get them without concern about the price. Consequently, the percentage of consumers who use illegal drugs like heroin would be more in the future. Also, it will be difficult for poor people to find a way to treat the addiction because they need to pay a lot of money for this process. "My argument for drug prohibition is that drug legalization would further dim the life prospects of young people in poor communities. The main reason to prohibit the sale of fatty foods is to discourage behavior that tends to shorten a person's life." (Marneffe, p.37).
