Opium production in Afghanistan has plummeted since the Taliban banned cultivation of the poppy plant, according to a UN report published on Sunday.
Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers pledged to wipe out the country’s drug industry, banning poppy cultivation in April 2022.
Poppy plants are the source of opium and heroin. Afghanistan was the world’s biggest opium producer and a major source for heroin in Europe and Asia before the Taliban takeover.
Only when enemies of America do it. After all, won’t somebody think of big pharmas profits?
It’s alright, just hike the price of some drug no other company produces by 9001%. What’s the gubmint gonna do, regulate prices?
