“Afghanistan is not one of those ‘regulated countries.’”
Despite the threats posed by Afghanistan’s illicit drug business, experts noted, the United States and other nations rarely mention in public the need to address the trade - estimated by the UNODC at more than 80% of global opium and heroin supplies. Heroin made from opium grown in Afghanistan makes up 85% of the market in Europe.
You keep using the words illicit and regulated. Anything that is available from the wholesaler is regulated. Their license is for them to produce product. If it meets the standards required to be bought, it will. We don’t control where it comes from within other countries. Just if it fits our needs.
As Afghanistan controls the market for opium so soundly, do you really think that their opium is not reaching US soil in the measure of secondary sales from Europe and other supplying countries? Those selling to us can’t cover the need with their productions. So where is it coming from? It has to be Afghanistan. They have almost all of it. So whether you are the primary buyer, or in the chain, you are still purchasing and supporting Afghanistan’s people and economy.
“All of their opium is grown for the black market.”
And you’re going to trust foreign countries concerned with nothing but their bottom line not to buy from the black market or from the source for wholesale and dealer sales? To them it is a business. And that’s all. Buyer beware.

I showed you information on which countries produce opium for the legal market. They produce more than enough for the world.
You have not shown any proof of your position and your feelings about the subject just don't cut it.
The bottom line is, you have no idea what you're talking about and you're just making chit up.
