Breaking Good?
Edit: I mean, Walter is gonna sell it below what Big Pharma sells right? More competition = Lower Prices? hopefully
He pretty much HAS to sell for lower to actually have a market - who buys from an illicit source if it’s not even cheaper than through the normal channels?
if he tried to sell through normal channels, he’d probably get slapped with patent infringements or similar legal bs.
Patent infringement, yes. But there’s also a gazillion quality control rules and forms and FDA submissions to manufacture drugs licitly. We know Walter White can control the quality, but does he have the patience to file the paperwork?
On season 1, no, he run away from inspection all the time.
On season 3, no, he knows where the inspector lives, and the inspector runs away from him all the time.
On season 7, no, but he runs the FDA and makes them add bullshit requirements to impede big-pharma all the time.
At first but then he goes bad when big pharma comes after him and he wins and corners the market
No at first he flies under the radar but his drugs end up being more effective than the market ones which causes doctors to start using them in clincs. first for family and friends but eventually more generally. The fbi, cia, nsa, dea, fda, wwf, and such get involved and he is caught and brought up on terrorism changes since he is to popular with the citizenry to face legitimate charges.
