He wrote the original version of the book as part of a community service project in lieu of jail for growing cannabis.

Alfred W. McCoy. The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade. Lawrence Hill, Westport CT, 2003. Update of The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, by Alfred W. McCoy, with Cathleen B. Read and Leonard P. Adam II, Harper & Row, New York, 1972. McCoy documented CIA funding of black ops by smuggling opium and heroin from the Golden Triangle, often in body bags aboard the agency’s private airline, Air America. He had followed up on Allan Ginsberg’s realization, from reading files of newspaper clippings, that every American offensive in Vietnam was followed a few months later by a spike, pardon the gruesome pun, in heroin OD deaths in the United States. The secret programs included the Operation Phoenix death squads who murdered 40,000 Vietnamese, and also the Ravens, off-the-books airborne troops and bomber fleets who waged a secret war in Laos that is still largely undocumented. Even more than this, McCoy’s masterpiece, especially in its revised edition, is a thorough history of opium wars and high-level trafficking from the beginning through the CIA’s thumb in the mujahedeen-Taliban pie.

The committee recommended legalizing marijuana and decriminalizing other prohibited drugs. “It struck most of us that the biggest harm reduction we could see would be to stop putting people in jail,” Morgan said. Officials of the American Psychiatric Association, the American Society of Addiction Medicine, and the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry applied pressure, and the AMA put a tourniquet on Dr. Morgan’s neck. Yale drug-treatment psychiatrist Sally Satel endorsed making the law a an effect of drugs (thereby sending business her way), because “The whole motivation for recovery is to come up against the consequences of your use.” Christopher S.
