Probably better to have 1 cartel instead of hundreds. Imagine if they were all allowed to do business, man, people would be getting high left and right. Society would collapse.
Define "collapse" :x for one, their govt is already bankrupt but they still function as a nation due to the FED. Printing, Inflation, raising the ceiling debt, letting the citizens carry that on their shoulders and just continue their agenda.
If there were less restrictions and organised crime, people would have more in life to enjoy. Alternative happiness like
drugs wouldn't be such a must. For most.
