Reagan and 1982 Opium production in Afghanistan.

1982.
Opium production in Afghanistan increases from 250 to 800 tons during the time
that the CIA is shipping weapons and "other aid" to guerrilla forces.
By 1986, the State Department admits that Afghanistan is "probably the
world's largest producer of opium for export" and "the poppy source
for a majority of the Southwest Asian heroin found in the United States."
U.S. officials do nothing to curb production.

OSS, ONI, and CIA. Opium ROOTS:
-----------------
1939-45. OSS, ONI. Italian, Chinese, Golden Triangle gangsters. Opium.
http://www.feedmag.com/drugs/f_roosevelt.html
1939 - 1945.
In an effort to protect East Coast ports and get intelligence on Sicily and on
the burgeoning Italian Communist Party, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)
and the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) cultivate relations with the leaders
of the Italian Mafia. They recruit heavily from the New York and Chicago
underworlds, whose members help the agencies keep in touch with Sicilian Mafia
leaders exiled by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Imprisoned in New York,
Charles "Lucky" Luciano earns a pardon for his wartime service and is
deported to Italy, where he builds his heroin empire, and then develops
connections in Lebanon and Turkey, which supply morphine base to labs in Sicily.
The OSS and ONI also work closely with Chinese gangsters who control vast supplies of opium, morphine, and heroin, helping to establish the third pillar of the post-World War II heroin trade in the Golden Triangle, the border region of Thailand, Burma, Laos, and China's Yunnan Province.
------------------
1947, 49. CIA. Sicilian, Corsican, French, Chinese, Japanese, Burmese, Thai,
Golden Triangle gangsters. Opium.
http://www.feedmag.com/drugs/truman.html
1947.
In its first year, the CIA continues the U.S. intelligence community's
anticommunist initiatives. The CIA helps the Mafia seize power in Sicily and
sends money to heroin-smuggling Corsican mobsters to assist in their battle with
Communist unions for control of Marseille's docks. By 1951, Luciano and the
Corsicans have pooled their resources, giving rise to the notorious "French
Connection" that would dominate the world heroin trade until the early
1970s. The CIA also recruits members of organized crime gangs in Japan to help
ensure that "the country stays in the non-communist world." Soon
after, the Japanese Yakuza emerges as a major source of methamphetamine in
Hawaii.
1949.
The Chinese Communist revolution causes collapse of drug empire allied with U.S.
intelligence community -- a new one quickly replaces it under the command of
Nationalist (KMT) General Li Mi, who flees Yunnan into eastern Burma. Supporting
anticommunist resistance in China, the CIA provides arms, ammunition and other
supplies to the KMT. "After being repelled from China with heavy losses,
the KMT settles down with local population and organizes and expands the opium
trade from Burma and Northern Thailand." By 1972, the KMT controls eighty
percent of the Golden Triangle's opium trade.
-----------------
1972. CIA tries to quash book, "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast
Asia."
http://www.feedmag.com/drugs/nixon.html
1972.
Yale University doctoral student Alfred McCoy publishes his groundbreaking
study, "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia," revealing the
details of how Cold War politics and U.S. covert operations fueled a heroin boom
in the Golden Triangle. "The CIA attempts to quash the book."
1973.
CIA informant and Thai national Puttapron Khramkhruan is arrested in connection
with the seizure of 59 pounds of opium in Chicago. He claims that the CIA had
full knowledge of his actions. The U.S. Justice Department reports that the CIA
"quashed the case" because it may "prove embarrassing because of
Mr. Khramkhruans's involvement with CIA activities in Thailand, Burma, and
elsewhere."
-----------------
1978. CIA-supported Mujahedeen expands opium grow in Afghanistan.
http://www.feedmag.com/drugs/carter.html
1978.
A coup in Afghanistan (backed by the Soviet Union) sets the stage for explosive
growth in Southwest Asian heroin trade. The new Marxist regime begins a strict
anti-narcotics campaign to suppress poppy production, triggering a revolt by
semi-autonomous tribal groups that traditionally raise opium for export.
CIA-supported rebel Mujahedeen expands production to finance their insurgency.

*The MAJORITY of the 2 million U.S. inmates are incarcerated due to the drug war! The Drug-War Industrial Complex. The U.S. drug-war inmate MAJORITY is calculated by adding together inmates committing drug crimes, drug-related crimes (such as robbing to get money for drugs that are expensive because of the drug war), drug-related parole violations, etc..
