In some situations this seems like more labor, & even materials, for the same functional result.

Sounds like capitalism in its best form.

All I remember is he’s the original buyer of the “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” album by Wu-Tang for $2MM. I hope he never took a moment to listen to it before it was forfeitted on his behalf by the US government.

At that level buyers & sellers are likely drug agnostic. They buy whatever sells & sell whatever is being bought. Profit margins are likely what’s driving the transition. However, & somewhat to your point, why not both?

Doesn’t seem all that insightful to me. Looked to be a nothing burger.
