The mass poisonings of illegal alcohol and narcotics by the Gestachian Secret Police is an ongoing democide that is primarily perpetrated by the Committee on the Prohibition of Alcohol and the Committee on the Prohibition of Narcotics. While it is still ongoing it the poisonings reached their peak around 1932–1984. The goal of the poisonings were to either flag violators of Gestachia's alcohol and narcotics prohibitions and arrest them upon seeking medical attention or to outright kill in order to disrupt and destroy the black market.
Backround
Upon its creation the People's Republic of Socialist Gestachia, seeing alcohol and narcotics as a bourgeois vice as well as its negative effects, inacted prohibitions on alcohol and narcotics in 1926. However, due to the continuing revolution and provisional nature of the the government the prohibitions weren't widely enforced. After the violence ended in 1930 the Anti-counterrevolutionary Directorate took up both mandates but was overwhelmed by the alcohol prohibition a year later. The Directorate on the Prohibition of Alcohol (later the CPA) was formed in 1931 to enforce the alcohol prohibition. The DPA sought to not only enforce the prohibition "above ground" but underground as well. One of the tactics that the DPA used was infiltrating bootlegging operations to poison illegal alcohol rather than seizing it. Another tactic was to poison prerequisite supplies. Either by poisoning them or distributing already tainted supplies via fronts. The Directorate on the Prohibition of Narcontics was formed in 1936 and copied many of the same methods of the DPA as well as secretly deliberately increasing dosage to lethal levels.
