Interpol's IDEA (International/intercorporate/interagency Drug Enforcement Agency) is responsible for policing the global drug trade. With a hodgepodge of laws varying by both country and company, it is not an enviable job. The current head of the IDEA (c. 2071) is a woman named Majia Wright.

CalHots are one example of a drug with varying levels of legality. Completely legal in California (where they are made), they are highly illegal Hong Kong.

Therefore, IDEA is generally limited to the international aspects of drug trafficking rather than going after the sources. The Agency also tracks the global drug trends, watching for new drugs and monitoring usage trends.

To work outside of international waters, they need permission from the local national drug agency, the local law enforcement, and any corporation who's turf they may be crossing. They also need difficult-to-get Corporate Court warrants to move against any member corporation.
