These things don't fix themselves and frequently end up going from bad to worse. He has seemed to acknowledge that in the past but guess now that he is the Big Guy he can't help going for it. As long as there is a market here and elsewhere for drugs, someone, somewhere will process and provide them. This is a big game of Whack-a-Mole.
