Can we just go back to opiates that feel like a warm hug on the inside and makes you zone out watching whatever is coming out of the tv as you melt into a drooling pool of pain free comfort.

The theory that can explain rising drug potency under prohibition was first described in 1964 by Armen Alchian and William R Allen. It states that when the price of two substitute goods is increased by a fixed per-unit amount (such as transportation or taxation) the consumer will opt for the higher priced, higher quality good because the price of the more expensive product has sunk in proportion to the price of the less expensive product.
Suppose, for example, that high-grade coffee beans are $3/pound and low-grade beans $1.50/pound; in this example, high-grade beans cost twice as much as low-grade beans. If a per-pound international shipping cost of $1 is added, the effective prices are now $4 and $2.50: High-grade beans now cost only 1.6 times as much as low-grade beans. This reduced ratio of difference will induce distant coffee-buyers to now choose a higher ratio of high-to-low grade beans than local coffee-buyers.
This is whats happening to drugs, prohibition forces logistics costs upwards and so higher potency becomes more standard.

Smuggled INTO Canada via the Windsor tunnel. We need to build a wall and make Trump pay for it.

End prohibition. Use Portugal’s model and improve on it.
Prohibition has never worked.

It’s also easier to just hide something that’s more potent.
Drug A 1g is 10 doses.
Drug B 1g is 400 doses.
It’s a lot easier to hide 1g than it would be to hide 40g, and who are we kidding, they’re still gonna charge the street user the same price per hit regardless of type.
Scale that up a bit size wise and it’s 1 Playstation in a semi is stuffed instead of 40. Now it’s less likely to be found amongst the thousand in the truck.
