and fine forget the patent. In order to sell alcohol or cigarettes you need a license. The market would not be flooded with competitors inintially because there would be 1 or 2 retailers in each region that would get the LICENSE to sell these drugs depending on if they did or didn't play ball with the government. No other licenses would be allowed at the initial offering and those companies interested would have to wait the requisite time to reapply. You are talking about what could potentially become a multi-BILLION dollar industry here. If you think this government or any government is going to let that kind of money just slip through there hands by letting every single company who wants to compete compete and driving prices down to next to nothing then you're kidding yourself.
More believable now?
