History channel just ran a 4 part series...

I'm not a big fan of the History Channel. I don't doubt, however, that some within the US government saw an opportunity to make big money bringing drugs into the country. There is corruption all over the place in our government, and that's what corruption looks like.

This was 1 of the better pieces that the History channel has run. They laid out the dirty laundry on both parties. It fit most of what informed people actually know. Which is rare for them, as they slant to the left, green crapola usually.

They didn’t carry it back enough in my opinion, because it went back to the Civil War, and before that to quack cures being peddled high in booze, coke, laudanum, or heroin or a combo. Nor did they touch on the long history of opium use in the ASIAN and M.E countries.
