Profits are always a risk-reward balance. If the risk goes up (druglords are more likely to be killed) but the price doesn't, then the market goes away.

Most likely they would just up the prices and use the new profits to buy weapons to defend themselves though.

    When a rival cartel gets weakened, there is less supply with the same demand. So another cartel will always use that to raise their prices. So the market never goes away.
