8. I watched a documentary about the cocaine problems in South Florida...

in the early 80s. Basically, the violence from the turf wars was becoming too extreme, so the Federal government stepped in and put an end to it.

What the documentary didn't show: apparently the Feds didn't end the drug trafficking, however, they simply imported the cocaine under more controlled conditions using the CIA. Turf wars are not as much of a problem when the government is in control.
