Yes, and the fact so much gets caught, the risk is great, the penalties great, helps push prices higher.

"In Vince's final year of undercover work, cocaine detections were 58 kilograms. In the nine months to today, 4.3 tonnes worth of cocaine has been seized.
The amount of cocaine detected by Border Force has more than doubled in nine months.
The cartels have so much money, it is easy for them to throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at an individual to make what may seem a one-off decision.
"Once it gets into the criminal justice system, once there's the compromising of the courts, for example, then it just permeates like a cancer."

I must say I can't believe how rife coke is these days. 20 years ago when I was into the fun stuff it was pretty rare around my circles, was all louie and pills, now it's all about the bags it appears.

How do you know?
Police and politicians show off these seizures to justify their jobs, the money they earn and the ridiculous amounts of tax payers money wasted.
Meanwhile nothing changes besides it being more available than ever before, the income of criminals, cops, customs, politicians and the increase in violence.

Crazy high prices make it very appealing for the cartels and wannabe hoodlums who want to get in on a good thing.
The turf wars will be absolutely insane.
Expect plenty of hits and hit attempts in the next few years.

If significant quantities were not being removed from the market and supply was (practically) unlimited, prices would be much lower.
