Why did the international drug regulatory regime of the twentieth
century fail to stop an explosive increase in trade and consumption
of illegal drugs? This book investigates the histories of smugglers
and criminal entrepreneurs in the Netherlands who succeeded in
turning the country into the so-called 'Colombia of Europe'.
Increasing state regulations and interventions led to the
proliferation of a 'hydra' of small, anarchic groups and networks
ideally suited to circumvent the enforcement of regulation.
Smugglers and suppliers of heroin, cocaine, cannabis, and other
drugs created a thriving underground industry of illegal synthetic
drug labs and indoor cannabis cultivation in the Netherlands
itself, made possible because of the embedded criminal anarchy in
Dutch society. Using examples from the rich history of drug
smuggling, Drug smuggler nation investigates the hidden grounds of
the illegal drug trade, and its effects on our drug policies. -- .
