The CIA and the H Trade: How 'Nam Fueled America's Drug Epidemic (1965-1975)

This documentary exposes the shocking connection between the Vietnam War, the CIA, and the explosion of heroin addiction in America during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Through interviews with former DEA agent Michael Lavine and extensive historical footage, we uncover how the global heroin trade flourished during this turbulent period. The film reveals how the CIA protected opium-growing operations in Southeast Asia that supplied American soldiers in Vietnam, with an estimated 10-15% of US servicemen becoming heroin addicts while deployed. The documentary explores how the "French Connection" drug pipeline relied on political protection and intelligence agencies' involvement, explaining why heroin flooded American cities, particularly ravaging Black and Puerto Rican neighborhoods. Yale researcher Alfred McCoy's groundbreaking Senate testimony connects South Vietnamese government officials directly to the heroin trade, exposing how military transport planes and CIA-affiliated airlines moved drugs throughout the region. Most tellingly, when the Vietnam War ended in 1973, the heroin supply to America suddenly dried up, confirming the deep connection between foreign policy decisions and America's first major drug epidemic. #DrugWars #Vietnam #ColdWarHistory #Heroin #USHistory #Documentary #CIARetryClaude can make mistakes.
