Afghanistan became the largest exporter of opium in the world
Correct. Now here's something else to add: when did the Opiate pandemic/explosion begin to happen here in the US and reached a crescendo about 4-5 years after AND kept up pace until Trump? Answer: same exact timeframe.
To clarify: Yes, opiates have been around a long time. However, they weren't easy to get, expensive, and typically only hardcore druggie losers used them.
Post entry to Afghanistan saw a MAJOR uptick in Opiate dependency in just about everyone who went to see a Doc: used for everything from Childbirth sedatives to minor injuries. Why? Because Opiates are known [knowingly] to be some of THE most addictive substances made by Pharma. Get people hooked needing more, thus gaining a monetary stream, and side benefit of ruining a persons life if left unchecked. Evil.
