Let me clarify. What I mean is a scenario where some big pharma CEO has corporate operatives disguised as drug dealers who would then buy narcotics on the black market, but not for street distribution, rather for legal distribution as legal prescription meds.

I looked into it a bit. Apparently the black market will pay more money to, say, a heroin farmer, than the legitimate market would...so that would preclude a big pharmaceutical trying to go that more expensive route. It just seems like such a huge potential there regardless. If there was a way the pharaceuticals could save money on the black market, I am sure they would do it. And if there is, I am sure they are. I am just wondering if this has occurred to anyone else.
