This is where the problem starts, because .the person(s) cutting the substance down to individual delivery packages do not clean off the crystal meth or acid off the table... why bother?

the problem of distribution is most strongly associated with its prohibition.
the same or even worse problems exist with legally distributed products (ex. oil/gas, diamonds, coca cola in latin america, etc.).
other than some possibly anecdotal evidence, i would like to know what you are using in support of your claim: "the person(s) cutting the substance down to individual delivery packages do not clean off the crystal meth or acid off the table... why bother? So... you end up getting more than mary jane."
also, historically illegal for a relatively short time, in the grand scheme of its legal use; i believe it was prohibited in 1937. of course, the impossible to get high from, yet incredibly profitable and easy to manipulate hemp got lumped in too.
also, geographical and social location will play a huge factor in the quality and channels of distribution. i doubt a significant portion of cannabis users in California have a hard time finding a non-meth-ridden distributor.
