==Afghan heroin production==

Wow. So in the 1990s the Taliban eradicated 95% of the [[heroin]] crop, under the US/CIA it flourished with the US/CIA being in control and profiting from the $60 billion a year global trade, and the Taliban again has given up the trade. So that's what the 20 year long occupation was all about. (Kinda reminds me of the Vietnam war when [[marijuana]] prices went from $10 an ounce to $20 overnite when the war ended, and $40 an ounce within 5 years. Then, when a shipment of cocaine from Columbia could bring $12,000 a kilo instead of just $2,000 for marijuana by the late 1970s, the switch to higher profitability was on - despite the jail times being the same if you got caught with a plane load of refer or coke. The country didn't have a dope problem ''before'' the Vietnam war, but that's the war's legacy. And it was the CIA and US government behind it all along).

There was no domestic production at the time, so the country relied on imports from Mexico (lower quality) and Columbia (higher quality).

This also explains why the FDA has approved more powerful [[opioid]]s - so [[Big Pharma]] can pick up the slack in the $60 billion a year market. And it's all legal.

I knew it all along - the US government is the biggest dope dealer on the planet. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]^{[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky didn't kill himself'']]} 06:04, December 17, 2023 (EST)
