Very good article, NYM.
I thought that drug trafficking was given the OK at the Appalachin meeting, per Genove's request.
Your comment made me think about Tom Hagen saying ‘if we miss out on the action we risk everything in 10 years time’
But beside money, who would it help? More politicians can be ‘greased’ by illegal gambling or even loansharking, than drugs, despite how much money you throw at a politician.
Then again in Scotland and Holland they have somewhat legalised it with facilities drug users can get high at. But like they did with the illegal gambling they will normalise drugs and take over for each government sake.
But still during current times, anyone selling heroin or cocaine can easily be sentenced to a minimum of 20 year and receive a whacking by the Mob.
