a. Demonstrate graphically the effect of supply-side measures on the market for illegal drugs.
b. Explain how these measures affect drug producers. (Hint: Consider the elasticity of demand.)
c. Demonstrate the effect of demand-side measures such as treatment and prevention on the market for illegal drugs.
