When discussing demerit goods, it is always good to be able to show a few examples. In these youtube clips, Ali G interviews a police superintendent about offensive weapons and a US federal agent about illegal drugs.
Not surprisingly, Ali G has a suspicious amount of knowledge about their use and for what price they might be procured for on the black market!
Plenty of scope for discussing why these goods are not just taxed to make their price higher and / or restricted to purchase only by adults!
