The supply chain for all of society hurts a lot of people. Drugs are only a higher proportion because that industry's order presently can only be supplied by smaller competitors with similar fixed costs to the incumbents.

And? That’s whataboutism, not a response.
> Drugs are....
That sounds like a vast oversimplification, to say the least. Also, again, I’m not defending drug laws.

The supply chain is not on trial in this instance, this one person (who did not harm or victimize anyone) is.

Look, I’m the last person who would defend drug laws, but I think your position is transparently silly.

This same illogic is used for people who want to defend looking at child porn:
"The person abusing the child is not on trial in this instance, this one person (who did not harm or victimize anyone) is."
More people have died in Mexico and Central America due to the drug war than have died in the war in Afghanistan.
If you buy drugs from a supply chain that involves the cartels, you are indirectly funding organized murder and crime.
In a world with legal drugs, you’d still want to prosecute someone for giving money to cartels, but there would be much less incentive for people to do so in the first place.
