Didn't I mention too keep that price as low and unintentional as possible? That implies the use of better tech and methods.

True, true, although as Sun Tzu put it 'The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting'.

If you were addicted to drugs, would you suddenly stop using drugs because some government guy started killing people?

If you were making tons of money in the drug trade, would you suddenly stop because some government guy started killing people?

I suspect the answer is no.

China is starting to be a big supplier of drugs
Illicit drugs killing Americans aren’t always from Mexico

The substance that killed Prince was a so-called “designer drug,” meaning it was made in a laboratory and wasn’t derived from a plant like heroin or cocaine. In this case the drug was “fentanyl.”

All illicit fentanyl comes into the United States from China, either directly or indirectly through the Mexican cartels.

Some of the victims die as Prince did, while others are injured for life. Even babies are being born hooked on it, often prematurely

People still try to smuggle drugs into Singapore.

Of course, the most pragmatic way to deal with the drug war would be to legalize everything. Of course, that would impact someone's profits, somewhere, so that won't happen.
