Scott M. Deitche Unveils the Mafia's Hidden Role in the Drug Trade

You know, different gangs have to get harder to take over certain things. It's kind of hard to say, because I think there would have been a natural attrition to the mafia out of the drug rackets anyway, just because of the demographic changes at least.
What happens when the Mafia dips its fingers into the drug trade? In this episode of 'The Peace on Drugs', Aaron Akulis sits down with Scott M. Deitche, a seasoned true crime author, to uncover the gritty details. Deitche, who has penned over seven books on organized crime, brings his wealth of knowledge to the table, shedding light on the Mafia's deep-rooted involvement in the drug trade.
From the rise of the opioid epidemic to the government's war on drugs, this conversation is packed with historical insights and eye-opening revelations. But it’s not just about crime and punishment. Deitche and Akulis also touch on the evolving public attitudes towards drug legalization and the transformative potential of psychedelics in mental health treatment. Personal stories of addiction and recovery are shared, adding a human touch to the complex web of organized crime and drug policy.
The episode wraps up with a powerful call-to-action: raising awareness about addiction, breaking down stigma, and supporting changes in drug policies. Whether you're a true crime aficionado or someone affected by addiction, this episode offers a compelling mix of history, personal narratives, and forward-thinking solutions.
