I always assumed big pharma's opiate pills were synthetic. Something sounds absurdly incorrect about them "bringing in" poppy plants from 1/2 way around the world. Logic is telling me the synthesize a molecule to mimic something in nature, to a degree, that also fits into a receptor in our bodies.
And to be honest, I'd never heard of the US trying to eradicate production in Afghanistan, just the opposite ... They openly let it begin again to help win the favor of locals, cus it puts good on the farmers table. There's no doubt we allowed the proliferation of poppy over there again, Jesus, we are handing out stacks of money like its candy to anyone and everyone over there. My buddy was a marine comptroller for a base or something over there... Some of the stories are fucking insane. Insane.
