Global organized crime would be The United Nations themselves! This is a cabal of nations that have conspired to regulate the crap out of the individual, and in doing so have empowered a black market. Black markets wouldn't exist under a genuine free market because whatever is in demand people would be free to supply.

But the fact that it is illegal means that for most of these drugs, you only have a few choices of supplier. And the suppliers are the same people at the top.
