How does the Cartel make so much money when the percentage of people using drugs is so low?

This whole post is referring to this statistic: [https://www.statista.com/statistics/443460/percentage-of-population-that-has-used-illicit-drugs-by-drug/](https://www.statista.com/statistics/443460/percentage-of-population-that-has-used-illicit-drugs-by-drug/)

The cartel is so rich and has so much power which makes me wonder how the hell are they making so much money if there’s quite a low of percentage of people using drugs.

One of the big important parts is that drugs tend to be illegal, which way raises the premium they can charge for the product. Production costs are really low compared to the high prices they can charge.
