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?
Given the world of BB, he would exchange some key components of the drug with some household stuff, and end up with a cancer drug that is “like, 100% pure, bitch”.
What would lead to someone being outright denied to buy medication, even if they pay with their own money? I could see it for things opiates, but no one takes cancer drugs for fun.

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.
You know, I’m almost 40, a big reader, and have seen and heard “illicit” my whole life.
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone use licit, and that’s fascinating.

You might buy from an illicit source at full price if the genuine product was outright denied.

You’re not from America, are you?
No. I would be surprised if every American knew the answer, though. People tend to be ignorant about things they didn’t personally experience.
