Here's the thing:
Black markets for legal products are almost always the result of fraud or theft.
Stealing goods is inherently more difficult than growing them for yourself.
The allure is the easy money that drugs provide. The rest of the ways organized crime make money aren't nearly as easy or as lucrative.
Drugs underwrite the cost of other, more nefarious and harmful activities.
