An uncut drug is pure.
Often, drugs are cut to increase profit. Cut 100g of pure cocaine with 10g of aspirin, and you just sold 10g of "cocaine" for the cost of aspirin. Think of it as watering down the whiskey. And the good thing about illegal drugs is the customers are druggies and they can't tell the difference or go to the authorities when ripped off.
Other times, drugs are cut to combine effects. Meth is added to mdma to add an energy boost to the euphoria. Again, there's a financial incentive of adding cheap meth to expensive mdma. Think of it as watering down good whiskey with cheaper whiskey.
