Does this means that pharmacies will sell drugs only with doctors&#39; prescriptions? If yes, black market drugs will not decline because people with no prescription will demand drugs on black market. Right?</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> Another question is, will the legalization and trade of drugs decrease the number of people using them? If yes, how?
