This is just a technologically advanced incident in the "drug war". Aside from the tech aspect, the business could be compared to a formal crack house where dealers meet customers and the owner takes a cut. That is to say, there's a vast unregulated market for drugs and the SR is a drop in the bucket.

While notable, I imagine people 100 years ago will pay more attention to the 30+ years we have of imprisoning, killing, fining and assaulting people and their families for selling and using highly common and sought after substances than the unregulated marketplace aspect of this case.

Uh, hundred years from now, I mean.
