Look at who mentored and trained the OSS around the start of WWII. British intelligence. British intelligence did a side business in masterminding traffic and keeping down competition to the empire hashish and opioids operations in relation to their captive Indian, Egyptian and (back in the day) Chinese drug markets.

CIA quickly became substantially different from the OSS, despite enrolling quite a few OSS agents (and hiring a bunch of leftover Nazis). Among others, they recruited a lot of the startup staff from the pre Drug Enforcement Administration Bureau of Narcotics (BND)/Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN)/Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD). Like every narcotics unit, these bureaus were notoriously corrupt and eventually either let out the narcotics racket as a franchise for profit & political control and/or became drug dealers themselves (as are the DEA and CIA to this very day, when it suits them).
