  Illegal drug trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mule is a lower-echelon criminal recruited by a smuggling organization to cross a border carrying drugs, or sometimes an unknowing person in whose bag or vehicle the drugs are planted, for the purpose of retrieving them elsewhere.
The main organized drug cartels deal primarily with the most compact (thus easy to smuggle) and profitable substances cocaine, heroin, MDMA (ecstasy), and methamphetamine, and it is these that are the primary focus of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration.
Legal drugs like tobacco can be the subject of smuggling and illegal trading if the price difference between the smuggled-from and the smuggled-to country are high enough to make it profitable.

 DANGEROUS DRUG ADULTERATION - AN INTERNATIONAL SURVEY OF DRUG DEALERS USING THE INTERNET AND THE WORLD WIDE WEB (WWW)
As regards the cutting of drugs, it is this researchers opinion that rather than 'class' being a particularly important variable on the likelihood or not of dangerous adulteration or indeed the practices of if, why, and how often, dealers cut their drugs, that level of involvement would be of more importance.
How experienced a dealer was, where they were in the chain of distribution, whether they had a drug habit, whether profit from drug sales was their sole supply of income, these it seemed to me would impact more systematically on adulteration/dilution practices rather than 'class'.
Whilst drug users may be willing to take part in research and become visible as drug users, to admit to a crime where the potential for punitive repercussions is extremely severe, that of supplying drugs, the same persons may be less willing to expose themselves as the latter.

 DanceSafe: CN BC: Drug Dealers Mostly Canadian Born, Not Immigrants, New
Vancouver residents should stop blaming Central American immigrants for drug trafficking in the city and realize it's a homegrown problem that can't be deported or arrested away, said Kash Heed, a Vancouver police department inspector and author of a groundbreaking new study on street-level drug trafficking.
Conducted as part of his masters degree studies at Simon Fraser University, Heed's study paints a picture of the average drug dealer on the Downtown Eastside as a Canadian-born man between the ages of 23 and 45, and a repeat criminal offender who supplements his drug income with a welfare cheque.
Heed, formerly head of VPD's drug section and a police officer with 27 years' experience, said he pursued the topic because he wanted a better understanding of who was dealing drugs in the city, and why they were involved in trafficking.
