after reading some articles about Freeway Ricky Ross, i learned a few things about the drug trade...

1, the government IS, and HAS been involved for quite some time
Ross was involved with the CIA during the Iran Contra Scandle..

2 Opium/Heroin import, was extremely low before we went to Afghanistan, now, its exploded far beyond belief, something like 400% more now..

theres other things, but i cant remember them lol... one of the articles stated how Carter and Regan opened up the door for Ricky Ross to ship in major amounts of Cocaine from Nicaragua during the 80s... they figured that if they took one heavily black populated town (Los Angeles), and dumped the drugs into there, that 1, everyone would be happy (cartels, cops, US Government), and it would save the rest of the country... little did they know, it wasnt that easy, look at it now... at one point Rick Ross was making 2 million dollars a day, all of it was helped by the Presidents, Government, and, the CIA...
