None every family is into drug from shakedown to dealing.
Then why all the guys being in trouble with captains or bosses for it? I think Bonanno Family did, others in New York and Jersey did not. From what Chicago posters on here are saying Chicago family did not either.
You can find examples in virtually every mob family of guys dealing. The rule seemed to be more "Don't deal without permission." A no-drug boss like Castellano didn't like when he found out the Gotti crew was dealing but took drug money off Patsy Conte and the Gambino brothers. Tony Ducks ranted about drugs but then agreed to let two well-known drug traffickers take over the family. Same with Chin, who let Bellomo become acting boss, despite being involved with drug trafficking in the past. Even in Chicago, guys like Fifi Buccieri, Turk Torello, and Rocco Infelise were involved in drug trafficking. Some years ago a raid was done on a bookmaking establishment run by Marco D'Amico and 10 kilos of cocaine was found there.
