Drug trafficking would never have existed released into the heart of the system. Drugs have dictated the own j politics and the shadows, secret operations widespread corruption drugs and now paused at the very flash of the worlds democracies to move the street to the jungles of columbia from shanghai to couple cartels mafia banks. Pharmaceutical labs and political policies have a whole list of Drug Trafficking. The results of devastating whole population stigmatized, o displace families toner pont. Today we stop counting. The date the, this documentary seer is, looks back at the sydney was history of Drug Trafficking. Starting with opium, which the following is cool, the gift from the ghosts the time of the 19th century person was engaged in a frontier race to come to New Territories and new resources with cotton t at the end of the commodities, the british and pon liberalize the world in india, britain laid his hands on a particularly strategic results. It was close to the city of interest in the ganges valley. The highest quantity of opium green temperatures structured its foaming and intensifying production. With this opium person, hope to in the power struggle against the worlds greatest powers, the time the empire of china. China refused all free trade. It sold massive amounts of porcelain and t. So appreciate it by the british vote and nothing a tool in return. There wasnt much the china needed. China was the oldest, the operating economy in the world heading back to millennial was a self contained economy. And so coming up with goods, thats that the worlds most advance consumer economy. I need to that was an impossibility. And this, the chinese are lead to long sort of asian by stuffing the types with all kinds of sciences, suffering cancer on one day opium and its will smoke, could soon cost its spent on chinese high society. In a panic, the emperor decided to bonnet the modern history of drug stove. He was approved and they should have an addictive substance and the greed of the british empire. These substances have one very powerful advantage from a cynical business perspective. So to fake the drugs are addictive, creates out of early, possibly o billing consumers, ongoing consumers. They, people literally get hooked on the substance. The next step was purely logistical. The British Crown couldnt be seen to be involved in smuggling. So it goes to job to private traders the most avid amongst them, william john dean and James Matheson loaded thousands of chests of opium onto the ships in india and set sail for china. The distinction between a private mercantile interest in the government. These were not completely separate there, there was a commonality of interest suited to the age of imperialism. And commerce was good for the pyre. The empire was good for commerce. So these things very much went together on behalf of the British Crown, jogging in memphis, and to scottish gentleman embroidered waist coats and payton left. A slip was invented International Drug trafficking in the bay of count on the 2 trade as bribes the post authorities unsolved, the call goes of opium to the chinese and press worst enemies. The triads, these powerful secret societies. How to sing claim to the through the tennessee and power. Look him up with.

Dont said, disagree. You know, if i did on that with these, with the she could do to man the quick big it to appear, man deals mostly and it could do a few months to defend them until they put some piece of that. Youll probably disappear under the book. Come the content, the publishing will do 1939 the m for a photon district, p imprisoned thousands of smugglers and have 20000 chests. The british opium destroyed charging and madison seized on this as a pretext back in london, they convince the highest authorities that was the only way to open up the huge market. The china represented with a 3rd of the worlds population. So in the name of profit, britain launched the opium was in fact, in china, many chinese historians date the modern era from the opium wars. This, this is one china, which has been a self sufficient empire for, for hundreds or thousands of years, suddenly becomes the victim of imperialism. The defeated n for a was forced to legalize opium and open off his country to foreign trade. He seated hong kong to the british to time the island into an outright opium hop or in 16 years sales that the drug could risen from 3000 to almost 6000 tons a year. To finance this blooming opium. Trading includes founded the hong kong and shanghai banking corporation, hsbc. These gloss talents of the heritage of an era which saw the path of what is now the 7th largest bank in the world in terms of assets and the job in math. As in group appear as well trade on the 1st business degree make a rich from Drug Trafficking. The simple isnt really, was of that. The colonial power was shelving opium, literally down to folks of the Chinese People and sentencing chinese man and be made up to the state. Things like addiction to the ability to, to live that kept them often torn from the families and they couldnt obviously deprived following the opium was uprisings berg count across china, resulting in millions of desks the empire sunk into a slow agony. To avoid the total collapse of its economy, china began growing its own puppies. China is borders with finally opened. Millions of chinese fled to the worlds main pulse like london, amsterdam, and San Francisco. And they took the practice of opium smoking with stuff. So if the original sin was that the west or western imperialist foisted opium on the chinese, the chinese and away had the revenge. Because with this great, they asked for, of the chinese immigrant community on opium. Smoking is transplanted all over the world. The United States, at the time of the gold rush, Chinese Workers provided easily exploitable labor opium spread through the china towns that the big cities in europe opium also made nations heavy drug would make the dreams of colonial ground to come true for various countries from the tunnel arrival of Great Britain intended to turn into china into a mountain colony, a mirror of its own power. It constructed expensive infrastructures such as roads, bridges, and railroads. To colonize ation, we have a quick differential bucket seats in the little i see if i go to work pretty cool, and youll have the actual ordering, the hardest to recruited. You could do national, no big move on to the quality.

The opium industry would run on full steam until the end of world war 2, drugging millions of people across asia. Now there was opposition to this and this in the 19th century, one very Important Group opposing this traffic was of course the missionaries because they saw the traffic in drugs as being opposed to their essential mission of christian i using these lands. And so theres, theres certainly a tension between the merchants and the governments and the imperial and ministrations that are interested in revenue. And the missionaries who are interested in souls. This tension reached a peak in china, india, or the 20th century. The empire had become the Worlds Largest opium producer, overtaking india from deep within the country, huge call goes, defended the young, see, referred to shanghai. Within a few years, the polt city had de thrown hong kong. Shanghai was the new World Capital of opium. The european powers controlled entire districts at the city known as concessions where the opium trade was booming. In shanghai, different quantities of opium were available far and refined opium. Coveted by the wealthy use, will comp chinese opium for the poor classes. In 1986, 13000000 Chinese People opium addicts, it was cottage, a massive probation campaign was conducted across the empire the europeans not turned out except the drug, 1st of its trade, ignore the band and continued business as usual. So china time towards a new power. I mean again, hope im lucky if i could do as well. Love for you. Be sure to see a traditional new demo, buskie some for the peace, north dakota. And yall is, i mean i go, nope, id coordinate the up always on the label for say, equal plan could on, they say you know, that they have the, a, c, c dog, eat above all, body, all by sea leap. You sounds good and yet to sleep, men low eat with those through the big use that same sex when easy does need to get in the country. So its a do you model to dont down the in 1999 in shanghai, the United States in china convened the 1st international opium convention. The european nations unanimously refused to reduce the production, but paris london announced it would soon reconsider deposition when they realize how fond opium addiction had spread across the west. The throughout the 19th century directed gumshoe its various industrial revolutions, millions of farm laborers had left the countryside and crammed into the sent as a monstrous manufacturing cities. With the in the salubrious living and working conditions, the slightest comp became infected cases of gang green increase. Academics were rife, typhoid, tuberculosis, cholera, doctors for it and loss. Then suddenly the pain stopped from the fruit of the puppy chemist managed to extract a miraculous substance. They named it off to move us, the greek God Associated with sleep in dreams. Villamore seen that last seen this has been a more female for them, not able to see on. But i lets go and see and see us. If we wanna move the feet listed on monday, the the and then the when a little 8, when that extra a little more than welcome to pass out in the mid 19th century, the german high and rescue manual mass pioneer at the large scale commercial production of morphine within a few decades, his small love had turned it to germanys 1st pharmaceutical empire. Today, its the 5th largest pharmaceutical group in the world, the from 18. 61 during the american civil war. 10000000 doses of wolfing were given to union soldiers. The during these 1st massive blood boss of the mountain, the era, the quality of all surgery also improved greatly. Thanks to moving doctors could ease pain, operate and if necessary, even to take on the battlefield. The invention of the hypodermic needle accompanied this progress, injected intravenously, multitudes grip tightened. Patients no longer suffered, but they became totally hurt. So the pharmaceutical industry set out to find an antidote and came up with a multi usage substance which could on hook opium addicts. Cocaine advocated by youngs in east dr. Sigmund freud level guy enough. And im seeing one of the most of them you that and im not co sign when way buckle go more. Gussy massy getting us have you . I think i level of cnc a little fair. You would go to a pharmacy and you would, the pharmacist would have a little chart that will take okay, and would dispense you cocaine photo variety of elements. Cocaine became a flagship product, sold in the form of an alexia appointment spray or cigarette. The newspapers were full of ads. The main targeted customer was the well to do woman. She didnt what . So how may just suffering was bought them throughout the 19th century and then to the early 20th century, drugs became cheaper and people discovered that all you can inject cocaine or snorted up the nose. Or you can mix morphine and cocaine and you can check them. And its, its, its very, it produces a very powerful you for you. 81898.

If you look at the history of morphine, if you look at the history of heroine, if you look at the history of cocaine, these things do not enter the world as evil under world drugs. They enter the world as medicines. Its almost like a genie that escapes the bottle. The there was new q as a morphine addiction was still each new product attracted its own band of addicts. Throughout the 19th century, the industrialization of western nations turned living conditions, hygiene and education upside down. You work, organization practices, place the individual at the center of that concerns. The 20th century dawned with new models. There was arise of the idea that the state had the responsibility in order to produce a strong citizenry for military mobilization for national development. That the state had a responsibility to regulate how the body was used, the on fettered market in addictive drugs, was a real social problem and a real social evil that needed to control drug control, including prohibition, was born of the same Progressive International movement that gave us the regulatory state that gave us the welfare state that gave us social reform. It gave us protections for workers for unions. Pro vision was finally enforced. The United States began by binding opium in 1999. This voltage shot in San Francisco shows hundreds of opium pipes going up in flames. In 1914, with the harrison act, the us regulated in tax opiates and coca products. Indispensible for surgery from then on cocaine, morphine and heroine would only be available by prescription thousands of drug use as he once built, the daily fix over the pharmacy counter. Didnt know where to turn to. Is that terrible cravings . C. S dido, the say pro evil. Estimate garcia, and so there monday into effect.

There was a Government Commission called the Wickersham Commission that surveyed the alcohol pro vision and decided that that it was written with corruption. And so, and 1933, you got the, the end, the prohibition of alcohol. Suddenly, the, the, the monthly head was this, the numerous really profitable enterprise, the, deprived of its main source of income. The attorney and massa united around Lucky Luciano phones and alliance with meyer lansky. Together they took control of the heroine market, to maximize profits.
