    You see tariffs are a good idea. Americans will start buying locally made meth again.

      You gotta have very good connections though, otherwise by the time cartel stuff gets to you it’s been cut with god knows what. Some trailer park junkies have a surprisingly high sense of responsibility for their customers too (other than selling them meth) so it’s entirely unpredictable if you’re going in blind.

    That makes some sense. When you’re smuggling something you want it as pure as possible, so it takes up less space and is harder to detect. You cut it with something else after you smuggle it.

    The same thing happened during prohibition. They smuggled hard liquor, not beer.

    Oh sweetie… Y’all still have homegrown meth. Being a failed state doesn’t really stop Jimbob from cooking in his basement.

    So… why the meth is coming aaaaaall the from Mexico? Wouldn’t be easy to get some of that inordinate amount of meth that is coming from the nasty country north of the border? Much closer… ;)
