Actually Michael was against Zasa allowing the dealing of drugs in traditionally Italian (white) neighborhoods.

Going by the book, the Corleones under Vito , would have provided political protection and possible financing/money laundering for narcotics business.

Of course, in for a penny in for a pound so probably at some time after Vito's death the Corleones would have gotten a bit more involved in the importation and wholesaling and probably division of territories, but not the actual street level (or even close to it) retail dealing.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
