Interesting statistics. Under the Americans, Afghanistan was the world’s breadbasket of heroin, but under the Taliban, everything went downhill sharply. Opium poppy cultivation in Helmand province, which used to produce more than half of Afghanistan’s total crop, has shrunk by 99%. The destruction of the plantations almost coincides with the evacuation of US troops from the country at the end of 2021…

Hmm…
