Opium is the raw product that becomes Heroin and now the US has control over more than 90% of the world's supply. Your military and tax dollars at work. The Golden Triangle in SE Asia used to be a major producer but no more, thanks to US pressure at just the right points.

Based, true and you'd be amazed (maybe not as you seem to know what is going on) how many people don't.

I lived in Bangkok when, if you saw a foreigner on the other side of the street you'd cross over or at least shout out to them. Now BKK is for me just a place to change planes. In those days a vial of #4 Heroin that would last any new pignose a week, cost US $20 and most any taxi driver could set you up. I'm not proud; just sayin'.
After leaving that City of Angels I went back many times to see friends, over the years. Going back to the North of Thailand was so depressing, I just stayed away. Hill Tribe people that had kept their identities for centuries were rounded up and put in camps, re-educated or worse. High quality heroin replaced Opium and became popular among the young. Old people, with their pains after a hard life, needed that Opium, that is as gentle as a flower, but now it is hard or impossible to find.
What am I saying? The US with its associated intel networks has changed the economies and cultures of the world in so many ways and almost always for the worse.
Thanks for responding, friend.
