all coming from out of the country from the same source

And also pay them properly so they don't have to exist from bribes.

HOWEVER, customs officers at the land borders must be letting a lot of drugs through. That's the weak point.

Well there's always been that estimation that only a fraction of the narcotics coming in are actually detected. This country has been a major conduit for narcotics for decades, partly due to porous borders and how easy it is to bribe security forces on low salaries. And perhaps because the security forces themselves are often directly involved. I find it worrying because a lot of that poison is being distributed locally too.

Therefore the only people the anti-drug police are interested in eliminating is the competition/low-level figures
