Are you saying drug dealers go around giving their product for free until no competition or we are hooked?
I don't really think that happens at all. If so where are they?
I doubt anyone is driving out competition with free product, but using free product to hook a new client is definitely a thing that happens.
That's not too say that there's guys on street corners offering free drugs to random passersby. Rather there's lots of dealers who just deal to aquaintances, friends, friends of friends, neighbors, etc. In that case they can spread a few hundred dollars worth of product around to non-users within their social network in hopes of picking up another client or two, who will end up generating reliable profit for a long time.
This is what drug dealers do.
It was also the plot of the James Bond film Live and Let Die.
