The chemicals and lab equipment required for production are regulated and monitored in the USA. The cartels have a stranglehold on the drug market and have since at least the 1970’s. They have their own methods, money, soldiers, routes and most importantly, the ultra violent reputation that wards off competition.
I compare it to a mom and pop operation trying to open a small shop next door to Walmart. Except that this Walmart openly murders any potential competitor and their entire family.
My first guess, the people that are making bank on it don’t live here. Esp now with the entire government going after the substance. Isn’t on radar in other countries perhaps. Also, just a rule some have…don’t crap where you eat. “Runners” are the go between for makers and dealers. Having that here in the US wouldn’t be very smart. Hard to arrest people in China.
Pardon my ignorance but why does it have to be smuggled in? Why don't they just make it in the US?
