How can something that’s only value comes from exploiting biological process(addiction) have any real “value”? Ones who make this stuff dont have to pay for shit when they make this and it doesnt bring anything positive to the world. Rather, it has negative value and by destroying it you are creating some value.
That’s why generally they’ll use the term “street value” for these kinds of descriptions. That means it’s worth that amount because that’s what people are willing to pay for it.
value is not rational
