Anger Anyone?

It is estimated that 80 per cent of the heroin eliminating lives in New York City and the rest of the country runs a smuggler’s route from poppy fields in Turkey to clandestine refineries in Marseilles and is then shipped on to the United States. The heroin traffickers have their reasons for taking the Turkey-Marseilles route: Turkey grows an especially high grade of opium and Marseilles, a huge seaport, is ideal for smuggling. Often it is merely a question of dropping a package of raw opium overboard to a waiting small boat.

The main point of debarkation for the heroin in the United States is New York harbor. Which is one reason why, with its 150,000 addicts, New York accounts for over half of the national problem, and why it is estimated that an incredible 50 to 60 per cent of the city’s crime is the work of junkies in search of a fix.
