I've expected the price of coke to largely swindle since the dawn of the darknet markets, but to my surprise I haven't found any vendors that are anywhere near the source. Why does the price remain as it is now? Is it artificial inflation? Maybe its to risky to send packages from these areas so they resort to middlemen? Surely there's a huge market potential here.
It's a product of limited supply, like legitimate factory made pharmaceutical items, tightly controlled by certain groups, and also coming in large part from high risk countries like South America whose packages are inspected closer than from other lower risk countries. Plus, in my opinion at least, the higher price adds to the allure and mystique, and maintains cocaine's reputation as a drug for the rich and successful.
