Joe Bonanno was heavy in drugs. So heavy in fact, of all the families that were involved in Narcotics, Vito Genovese was Joe's main rival in it. Omaha, San Francisco, and San Diego to name a few cities where the two families made connections in pushing their drugs. By late 1957, the three families that would gain a lot of influence in selling and distribuating drugs in the United States were, Bonanno, Buffalo, and Detroit families. It is also funny how Joe and Bill never mentions Galante in their books, he was the Bonanno underboss before he went to prison.
