      there’s not really a way to know for sure but I imagine the price would actually come down somewhat due to removal of red tape and paperwork associated with drug control

      possibly also from increased competition if that made it easier for a drug manufacturer to begin producing previously controlled drugs

      for example amphetamine salt production is capped by the US DEA. if that cap were removed the supply would increase and the price might very well decrease

      sadly this is largely useless speculation

        Personally i hope it stays that way. There are enough legal ways to lose ones mind and life
