A point of contention, the central premise of Breaking Bad is that Walt takes over the trade because it's so damn pure. And Hank finding the pure stuff on the street means they're not cutting it in production.
OTOH, a central premise of The Wire is that, in the words of String Bell, "you make it good, they buy it up. You make it bad, they buy twice as much.'
Point being that the Meth/Heroin trade isn't about charging the street premium $$ from high grade stuff, unless you're on Wall Street or in Beverly Hills. In the bigger picture, you want to make good enough product to warrant street value, and claim enough territory with reliable demand to move it.
The Wire probably more accurate than Breaking Bad on the business end.
