I don't believe they ever imposed a ban on drugs. Wouldn't it be highly ironic for Genovese to organize a national meeting with the main purpose to impose a ban on drugs, only to be busted for dealing dope two years later? Not to mention that this meeting turned out to be disastrous for the mob. How could he have managed to run his family from jail for another ten years if he had lost so much face? The Genoveses would have been the laughing stock of the entire Mafia.

Oh but wait... Genovese was framed by Luciano... right. It's time Discovery's MythBusters devote one of their episodes to the American Mob. Stop living in a fantasy world, they were all involved in dope up their necks, Bonanno, his son, his wife, his mistress, his dog, anyone.
