There would be privacy aspects to having an ID card (a swipe card). It's primary purpose is to limit quantities purchased in given time periods. Stigma? Maybe that's good. But for most, especially for an addict, and easy, safe, and relatively inexpensive source beats the street anyday.

I don't like the idea of "tracking" people, beep, beep; next stop police state.

I see your point, but consider that we have passports, driver's licenses and other forms of ID. All states police, but a "police state" isn't defined by ID cards, but by a lack of democratic institutions and basic rights.

Drug dealers would exist due to rising substance tolerances and quantity policing.

A good point. Must be dealt with to prevent illegal selling.
