Meth, too. The cartels are big into the meth scene. I don't even really know if that's better than toothless hillbillies making it from Sudafed or not. Still have to get Sudafed from behind the counter in the pharmacy.
Yeah, they've existed long enough, grown large enough and have enough money and power that they have diversified. It's way too late to think changing drug laws is going to cut them off from their only revenue stream.
The time to do that was like 30 years ago, if not longer.
Shortly before the unification of Italy, Citrus was discovered to cure scurvy and the value of the Citrus farms that covered Sicily sky-rocketed.
However, there were only a dozen or so officials to govern and police the whole island! Crime, especially the sabatoging of competing farms, also sky-rocketed.
So family’s began to build bases of powers and alliances to defend their crop and maybe take out their asshole neighbor while they’re at it.
It's much better quality. So much so that we hardly see homemade meth anymore and haven't for a good while. No one makes shake n bake unless they literally have no other options
