Actually, Mexico has recently become the major Heroin source.

So the writer has some facts wrong. How many more I wonder.

Maybe for heroin refining. But you can't make heroin without opium, and Mexico doesn't produce any opium poppies. So the ultimate source is still Afghanistan.

Actually, you aren’t correct. About 96% of the worlds non-pharmaceutical opium crop comes from Afghanistan. Mexico isn’t even close.

Re: “Actually, Mexico has recently become the major Heroin source.”

Really?

Maybe for transport and distribution.

But growing it?

Where are the thousands of acres of poppy fields, and why don’t we ask Mexico to destroy them?
