Revolutionaries constantly need funds — they did and do rob and kill to gain them. For the Greater Good, of course.

Re:And in countries where it's legal?
Do you really believe that? it's driven up costs
1. No it hasn't
2. Also noted in my source, the purity has gone up, so the same amount of drug is more of the active ingredient than it once was.
3. An addict will spend whatever it takes to get their fix. If all the grocery stores in your area tripled their prices, you'd pay that price (or move) rather than going hungry. It's the same story here.
