The current price of drugs is vastly inflated because they are illegal. Around 1915 you could buy (in a store) one gram of cocaine for 25 cents. Adjusted for modern inflation, that same gram today would cost around $5.25. Because it's illegal, the cost is actually around $100, and by the time it's being sold in those small amounts, you're not even getting one entire gram. It will most likely have been cut with inositol or baking soda to increase the dealer's profit margins.
As for kids, yeah that's going to happen. Not alot you can do about that. I paid a homeless guy to buy me a bottle of Jim Beam when I was 17, the system isn't perfect.
