I'm old enough to remember when Italian Americans ran their own pizza shops and sold their own heroin.

I grew up in NYC and can tell you that the prohibition on hard drugs (like heroin) was a front. The bosses didn't want the guys to sell it officially but loved the money it brought in. Sell it, just don't get caught.

Maybe the old school Dons didn't want it sold, but since the 70s it was an open secret.
