Why else would they have done so much of it in the 19th century? Smh do vikadin and percocet like a normal person
reading the immunity deal the Sacklers strongarmed out of the prosecutor, and then wondering what would happen to the Sacklers if they were on trial in China
Now that the US is gone, the Taliban is banning the opium trade. But it's a major part of Afghanistan's economy, they'll only be able to do it with economic support and China can make this possible. Belt and Road will provide new economic opportunities so that opium isnt the only profitable enterprise in the country. I hope it works, opiates have ruined thousands of lives
It could also destabilized the country into further civil war if the Taliban tries to enforce it. Entrenched drug lords arent gonna give up their territory and cash.
maybe China can buy it from them and sell it like they did Fentanyl
idk anything about opiate manufacturing but it feels possible that you could buy raw opium from Afghan and refine it into other goods
That not how it works. There are only three real uses for poppy plants. Decoration, the seeds for cooking, and use as a drug.
what is the deal with fentanyl, anyway? I haven't really heard anything about it other than fear mongering by chuds about China or drugs.
Fentanyl is an incredibly potent opiate which has its application in extreme cases of pain relief. I once had an accident which was suspected to have fractured my spine, my central nervous system, however, was still intact. In order to prevent any sudden movements (e.g. any twitching from the extreme pain I was in), I was given a dose of fentanyl. However, in the US opioids are prescribed for everything because America, which in turn caused an epidemic of addiction. Since opioids are prescription only, many people resort to heroin, which is significantly less potent than fentanyl. But since fentanyl is a legal, prescription only drug, it is much cheaper, which leads to heroin often being laced with fentanyl. No go fucking figure what happens when people take a normal dose of heroin that has been laced with its much more potent cousin.
But since America is never responsible for any of its domestic fuckups, it must of course be CHYNA that causes all these overdoses by producing a medical product which is both legal and necessary in extreme cases.
Thank you very much for the information. I knew the stuff about thousands of dirty factories pumping it out to kill americans had to be false, but I didn't really know what was going on.
Without historical materialism, history is just a collection of trivia.
Hey, someone remind me what happened to opium production in Afghanistan once the US invaded?
Jesus Christ. Everything is going to be reduced to pop culture from now on.
:shrek-pixel-despair:
So why did the US go there in the first place? :thinkin-lenin:
When you're so ignorant of history it loops back around to not even being racist.
They're just that fucking stupid
China is trying to recruit so they can get more bronze medals
As they destroy this website
