The COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in China restricted the supply of precursors and resulted in price increases of street drugs in the USA.[4] The supply shortages resulted in price increases and shortages in illegal drugs that were noticed on the streets of the UK.[5] US law enforcement also told the NY Post that Mexican drug cartels were having difficulty in obtaining precursors.[6]
