Wow. Thanks for that info. Yes, I had a suspicion that much of the opium from Afghanistan was being used in pharmaceuticals. I didn't look deeply into that angle. Do you know where to find good information, specifically numbers, on Big Pharma using Afghan opium?

It is still a black market, but much of what is produced in Afghanistan finds its way into China, and is sold to pharmaceutical companies as opium from there. That is why the CIA is so hell bent on protecting the production of Poppie production in Afghanistan. Even if Afghan Opium does find it’s way to America, it goes through Central America before being sold to America’s youth.
