Before the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the Taliban had almost entirely shut down poppy production in Afghanistan. After many years of US occupation, Afghanistan now produces 90% of the heroin in the world.

Well, the CIA and the US have been involved in a lot of operations before involving drugs so this is a good historical record.

The Taliban had almost entirely shut down poppy production in Afghanistan but after the US invaded, Afghanistan now produces 90% of the heroin in the world.

Including hiding bags of heroin inside the dead bodies of US GIs being shipped from S. Vietnam to stateside. That way they got a little more use out of 58,000 dead GIs. That's documented. I wonder what ghoul at the Catholics In Action thought that one up.
