Frontline did a great episode on the drug war where they point out that Meth lurched into the power vacuum left by the abolition of quaaludes. here's a bit of it. Even Robocop 2 figured this much out - "Nuke" was what the drug trade resorted to when heroin and coke became scarce. You think the Russians would cook Krokodyl if they could still get heroin? People aren't doing coke anymore because meth is cheaper and more prevalent. Ask any DEA agent if they'd rather deal with meth or coke, they'll tell you coke every time.
