It's so much more lucrative to just slice the orphaned drug catalog up in a cartel structure.

You charge robbery rates for drugs A, C and F and I'll take B, D and E.

We both make lots of money and don't have to worry about each other.

Competition assumes sellers don't collaborate and negotiate but they do all the time.

More pointedly competition only works when it exists.
