  • CBS Reports: The Business Of Heroin (1964)
    The French Connection was a scheme through which heroin was smuggled from Indochina through Turkey to France and then to the United States and Canada, sometimes through Cuba.
    The operation started in the 1930s, reached its peak in the 1960s, and was dismantled in the 1970s. It was responsible for providing the vast majority of the heroin used in the United States at the time.
    Illegal heroin labs were first discovered near Marseille, France, in 1937. These labs were run by Corsican gang leader Paul Carbone. For years, the Corsican underworld had been involved in the manufacturing and trafficking of heroin, primarily to the United States.
    It was this heroin network that eventually became known as "the French Connection".
    The Corsican Gang was protected by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the SDECE after World War II in exchange for working to prevent French Communists from bringing the Old Port of Marseille under their control.

      It's Longer than Fifty years. I read "Down These Mean Streets" about a Puerto Rican youth growing up in East Harlem-back in the Forties. It had turned from a Jewish Tenement Slum into a Latino one by that time. He committed robberies to finance his habit. In the Late Fifties/Early Sixties, the problem Really got out of hand-especially in the NYC area. Burglaries and Muggings Skyrocketed...All for ONE Reason.

      You’re naive if you think the US govt wants to stop drug use. Control it maybe, stop it absolutely not!! Just think about how many jobs wouldn’t exist if drugs weren’t available. 85% of inmates are in there because of drug use or selling drugs. Cops would have no work, judges, lawyers, court officers and everyone else who works for the Justice system in some way. Think about the amount of money and material things they seize every year from drug dealers!! Drugs are a huge part of the US economy. US spends billions on drugs every year, and that money goes right back into the economy. Most big dealers don’t save or invest lol.

      If the Government truly wanted to stop the crime caused by heroin addiction, they could Finance multiple medical Heroin clinics to addicts that can't stay away from heroin even if they enter methadone treatment. This would cut crime by heroin addicts, but also Cocaine/ Crack/ Methamphetamine is also related to horrific crime.

    I had a heroin habit for years. I can't imagine introducing the drug to someone that's never done it. I haven't used it for almost 3 years. I still take very low doses of Suboxone. I've been desperate many times but I never stole or got over to feed my habit. I would rather die than introduce that drug to a child. I probably sound dramatic but I'm not introducing a child to destroying their own spirit. These people that are using this drug are broken people. The people that deal the dope are broken people. No amount of punishment will curtail this behavior. We have to live in a world of Charity and love. We are just a product of our environment. So the next time you see a junkie keep an open heart

      To think that these streets and countless others across the U.S. we’re about to then burst at the seams with addiction within a few years? Sending kids across towards all the heroin they could take whilst being hosted by Vietnam…… A helpless & hopeless feeling shrouds me when I see or hear of such stories. I myself have an opioid addiction that I have been nursing now close on a decade, so sometimes watching things like this can really scare me, on the other hand, I’ve somehow discovered that when I’m going through withdrawals, I seem to watch a lot of mountaineering films, a lot of Whillans, Bonnington, Haston, etc etc……. It wasn’t a conscious thing to begin with lol. Dunno where I’m going with this haa!

      Fair play to you brother, I’m in Britain and we have a very serious problem with heroin over here now I live in the West Country of Britain and I’ve been a addict myself for many many years now and back in the early 1980s if you wanted junk you would have a go nearly a hundred miles into the city to buy that shit but now you only have to walk to end of the street now to score junk it’s got that bad over here now mate, I’m gonna be moving very soon hopefully out to the outskirts of my town because I’ve had enough now I really it’s something that takes just two minutes to get into and a lifetime to get away from you know but I’m just wondering what suboxone is, is it what we call over here in Britain subatex I think that’s how it’s spelt it’s only been around for just a few years now from Europe I think it’s from mate but I’m allergic to it when I was using them on script I was violently ill every time I used it so I’ve had to go on the next worst stuff methadone and I really do hate that shit, I don’t use heroin everyday and if I do have a dabble I don’t use methadone as well when I do , the Nazi scientists came up the green juice because hitler didn’t have enough morphine to give his troops on the battlefield so he ordered his scientists to come up with a substitute for it and they invented the methadone the bastards, they won the war after all by the looks of things, but in New York it was fat Tony Salerno stomping ground in Harlem and the Bonanno family in New York I’ve researched organised crime in America for 43 years now it’s really interesting stuff to research to be honest with you. But I really do wish you well with your recovery my friend I’m not one of those people who just because I struggle to get clean I always wish other people well they do get clean it’s great to see someone doing well it’s a very evil drug and they don’t call it the devils dust for nothing brother take care of yourself buddy from Stevie boy in Britain

After a while, I didn’t want ANYTHING to do with that life or the women that came with it. Not judging them or anyone else but it just wasn’t for me. So I went solo. Too much trouble out there. Plenty of gorgeous women with empty heads and rotten hearts. Most smoked pot or did blow, watched porn or just into stuff I didnt want to be a part of anymore. So…. I waited. It wasn’t easy but as I’ve learned, Gods timing is always perfect and I’m glad I waited. He gave me a wonderful woman I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. She loves God and me. She walks the walk. She’s drop dead gorgeous “ actually a former beauty Queen from Colombia”. I’m very grateful and can honestly say I’m very happy. I know God sent her to me. I had to do my part too “ stay away from the streets, have a clean heart - still working on it. Cheers

The first couple of times I got locked up I vowed to never go sick ever again and when I got out tried staying clean, didn't last and at that point I did whatever in the f*** I had to do to NOT be sick!! And then as the years went by and addiction medicine evolved a bit more I began maintenance treatment and the rest is history!!

    The term "French Connection" is a misnomer. Corsica is inhabited by men of Italian nationality though it is under the French flag (Napolian). That is why the alliance with Sicilians and the Italian-Americans was so smooth. Just check the surnames of Corsicans who were part of that crew.

      1- Corsicans are neither French nor Italian, they are CORSICA!

      3- the gangsters of Marseille and the south of France are not necessarily Corsicans.
      4- the organization of the "Corsican mafia" is closer to the camorra than to cosa nostra.

And spots like Newark, NJ and Paterson NJ.... you'd pull up and your car would be SWARMED by dealers and theyd be literally dropping bags of dope in your lap trying to get the sale.
