There is a great book about the business of drug trade called "Narconomics: How to Run a Drug Cartel" by Tom Wainwright, who is a business editor for Economist and made the book after writing an article for the Economist on this topic and was prompted to expand it. It is a fantastic read, going deep into the reasons why drugs are profitable and how cartels are just like any other business with challenges like cash flow, human resources, motivation, competitors, etc. Key (and well argued) takeaway at the end of the book is that making ALL illegal drugs legal (and taxed and regulated) would bring immense relief to the levels of organized crime worldwide, huge benefits to the budgets, at the cost of maybe slightly more people in society who will kill themselves with said drugs, Check it out in your local library https://www.amazon.com/Narconomics-How-Run-Drug-Cartel/dp/1610397703 https://www.amazon.com/Narconomics-How-Run-Drug-Cartel/dp/16...
