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.

When your drugs have something like a 100000% markup and you have a small captive audience that will do anything to get it. That’s a lot of money.
Especially when you consider the cost of labor is so cheap. Your average American drug dealer makes barely over minimum wage. Your average coca farmer makes even less and your cocaine producing staff make even less, that’s a lot of money going into the midlevel guys.
The only guys making good money are the drug lords themselves, the gang leaders moving it at the point of sale, the hitman working for the gangs/cartels, and the government workers taking the bribes.
