That's not entrapment, at least not in the USA. A normal law abiding person doesn't deal cocaine even if it's really cheap.

I mean, if I'm a regular user and I can afford and obtain a big supply for 1/10th the going rate I'd seriously consider that, even without an interest for selling it on. This would be true of any shelf stable product I use regularly and could effectively store

"Regular cocaine user" and "law abiding citizen" are in conflict. A cheap price isn't coercion.

Oh I know, I'm not arguing it is coercion.I'm arguing that it indicates an attempt to distribute is tenuous

A normal wealthy person, maybe. To many people, an offer like that is a ticket out of poverty.

So's stealing an unattended bag of money off the back of an armored truck. Still criminal; still not a coerced act.
