I do not know what is "legitimate' in this issue. CIA -- both on duty and through 3rd party intermedediates have been selling opium from Afghanistan since 1950's. CIA had number 1 tranfer point through the psycopathic Iraniam false leader -- Slavack of Iran. Ex-Slavack as the most in-huamn killers were even arrested in Beverly Hills California USA for herion dealing by US DEA in 1990's. What is legitimate now? Maybe US DEA has undercover houses in wealthy Beverly Hills California USA district -- in order to track ex-patriot Iranians, bared from re-entry to Iran and their so called "legitimate" opium sales US DEA routinely overlooks any CIA attempt to save up covert $ to overthrow Iran -- even when the dope deal is in broad daylight and felony against American laws. Peace.
