Did not know that. I was wondering if was coming from Afghanistan somehow.
There is a great map of the poppy trail from Afganistan. All the countries the raw product goes through are represented by firstwent generation bankers in Chicago and have a connection to .... The community O organized was controlled by a Black Islam street gang founded by a Mexican. Drug cartel. Jesse ROBINSON Jackson half bro is doing life for his involvement M Robinson O spent enough time in JJ home that the siblings called her Sis.
Lots of people involved but your instincts are on target.
There is more to Afganistan than the Taliban. (Drugs are the #2 money maker in Russian economy. Crimea shortened the route to Europe).
