A show called Snowfall touches on a CIA agent working to bring in cocaine to the US to fund anti-communist militias in South America. Good show overall. Not the best, but interesting.
It's weird how people honestly learn more history from drama nowadays than actual school or something. And this isn't a diss of any sort, I do that all the time; watch an interesting drama "based on reality" or something and afterwards I fact-check what things were actually historical and what weren't.
Iran-Contra affair used to be pretty well known, actually, but there's a clear generational gap and I'm other side of the gap. But I know it used to be known better. How do I know that? Well, from an American Dad bit, obviously ("Wow, I just learned while I was being entertained!")

I love how completely bonkers the iran contra scheme was: we're gonna use drug money to buy missiles and f14 parts for a country that imprisoned a bunch of our own people, because.... reasons?
to be fair people doing what is essentially high-treason while having access to an unlimited supply of cocaine might lead some of them to do a bump or two for the stress, leading to a horrible negative feed-back loop.
while simultaneously writing new laws to persecute cheap cocaine (crack) users militantly. it's all so fucking nuts...
honestly the only people I would except that sort of shit is from people who are chronically somewhat psychotic from having abused stimulants for a loooong time. or ones who've not necessarily abused them long, but have stayed up for three or four days straight with stims. starts getting freaky at that point.
either or explains most of Trumps verbal output imho
That whole fun idea was proposed by Manucher Ghorbanifar, an Iranian/Israeli double agent
