70s/ 80s
Thanks for the first of what I hope will be many comments. Interesting to look at the issue of enforcement on Latin America during the period described. The Museum is dedicated to history pre 1971 (Misuse Of Drugs Act - UK Legislation)
May I suggest a visit to the section on the Opium Wars which highlights the role of the UK in dominating the export of the drug to China. This section of the site will be developed further to include new research.
Yours Faithfully,
The Curator
