Taliban’s Massively Successful Opium Eradication Raises Questions About What US Was Doing All Along
13th August 2023
The Taliban government in Afghanistan – the nation that until recently produced 90% of the world’s heroin – has drastically reduced opium cultivation across the country. Western sources estimate an up to 99% reduction in some provinces. This raises serious questions about the seriousness of U.S. drug eradication efforts in the country over the past 20 years. And, as global heroin supplies dry up, experts tell MintPress News that they fear this could spark the growing use of fentanyl – a drug dozens of times stronger than heroin that already kills more than 100,000 Americans yearly.

If fentanyl is killing 100,000 per year, then we can get some kind of control of the population in the country. Anyone stupid enough to start using fentanyl is probably not much of a loss to society anyway.
