Did you aim this at me or the other guy you quoted? I'm not absolving the consumer of responsibility, merely pointing out that unethical practices go on in near enough every business about. It's hard to find a t-shirt that was produced ethically let alone drugs. I also consider funding Big Pharma to be an ethical problem too but ultimately I need medicine.
I don't fund Mexican cartels since I live in the UK but I'm sure some of my money ultimately goes to other criminal operations. Again I can't absolve myself of all responsibility here, but at the same time, it is a side effect of prohibition. No one would take risks on potentially cut drugs from gangs if they had a legal regulated alternative.
Most of the stuff I use is legitimate pharma except weed and psychedelics. As I understand the medicine diversion supply chain, it tends to come from wholesalers in countries with lax regulation, imported into the UK and sold on the darknet or by dealers. Often the dealers are pretty close to source because ordering pharmas from corrupt countries like India or Pakistan (where a lot of the benzos come from) is very easy so you don't need a criminal gang to middleman it for you.
Also, this.
