The Heroin Trade That Starts Up in the Late 40s Early 50s

The heroin trade that starts up in the late 40s early 50s it's kind of the same thing is like okay this is going on before the CIA gets involved. They're controlling everything from supply through the Nationalist Chinese army which they have an interest in to smuggling and distribution. So again this isn't just like a nikaragwa they're helping shit along right they're smoothing things they're making problems go away at this point. By the time we pulled out of the region under Nixon Southeast Asia was the source of 70% of the world's opium and the primary material driver of the US heroin market and the CIA had never not been involved.
