The '''illegal drug trade''' concerns the production and shipment of the recreational drugs such as [[cocaine]], [[heroin]] and [[cannabis]] which the {{ccm}} refers to as "[[drug]]s", as opposed to "pharmaceuticals". The [[drug cartels]] who profit from this trade generally (perhaps almost invariably<ref>https://isgp-studies.com/cia-heroin-and-cocaine-drug-trafficking</ref>) do so with the knowledge (and often collusion) of [[intelligence agencies]], most notably the [[CIA]].<ref>https://www.opednews.com/conroyBill_091304_dea_whistleblower.htm saved at [http://web.archive.org/web/20051122080109/http://www.opednews.com/conroyBill_091304_dea_whistleblower.htm Archive.org] saved at [http://archive.is/kF6d4 Archive.is]</ref>

Cannabis is the most popular recreational drug.

An extremely profitable business, which is also extremely low risk when undertaken on a large enough scale, with protection from the various law enforcement agencies. A natural for deep state groups, which can be safely assumed to control the overwhelming majority of global drug trafficking.

Not to be confused with the (legal) drug industry.

The illegal drug trade concerns the production and shipment of the recreational drugs such as cocaine, heroin and cannabis which the commercially-controlled media refers to as "drugs", as opposed to "pharmaceuticals". The drug cartels who profit from this trade generally (perhaps almost invariably[1]) do so with the knowledge (and often collusion) of intelligence agencies, most notably the CIA.[2]

Official narrative

Peter Dale Scott on the global drug trade

The global drug trade is an immensely profitable business, and as such, its reporting in the commercially-controlled media is heavily influenced by deep state interests keen to protect their profits. The official narrative emphasises the role of small groups, noting that, for example, cocaine "is often brought in to the UK by drug mules; in suitcases or by swallowing bags."[3] Although larger level smuggling operations are occasionally reported, details are often sketchy and obscure the role of the deep state.[4] [5]

National governments and authorities in general are routinely portrayed by the establishment as staunch opponents of the illegal drug trade, as evidenced by their pursuing a "war on drugs". Evidence of close ties between drug cartels, intelligence agencies and deep state groups is almost never mentioned.[6]

Problems

Gary Webb's Dark Alliance website which broke the CIA's involvement in the crack cocaine trade documented the development of drug smuggling methods and routes.[7]

The methods of smuggling suggested by the official narrative do not allow for adequate explanation of the amount of drugs smuggled. Gary Webb's exhaustive and convincing documentation of CIA-connected cocaine trafficking states that in the mid-1970s “the drug [cocaine] was carried across the border hidden in suitcases and shoes [but] as the industry grew, the cartels expanded and shipped by cargo ships, planes, stolen cars and trucks.” [8] This would also explain why CIA planes have been found full of cocaine either when accidentally arrested or crashed.

The Susurluk incident is worth investigating for anyone who is interested in state approved drug trafficking, and also for anyone seeking evidence for the existence of a hidden nexus of high level politicians, drug traffickers, arms dealers and intelligence agency operatives - the Turkish term provided the English phrase "deep state". Another character worth looking up is Willem Matser, a Dutch spook and deep state functionary who was "one of NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson's top policy experts". In 2004 he was found guilty of forgery and fraud in connection with a $200m (£120m) money laundering operation between Colombia and Romania.[9]

The disinterest of authorities in investigating massive money laundering by large banks,[10] the scale of drug smuggling operations and the apparently inability of the authorities to prevent it would seem to support the accusations of a lot of whistleblowers:- that the resources of nation states are being marshaled, not to hinder the global drug trade, but to actively promote and carry it out.

Globalisation

The British East India Company was the pioneer of the modern illicit drug trade. From their opium warehouse in India in the 1850s
