After getting rid of the ZOG occupation, the Taliban have eliminated roughly 80 percent of the country’s opium production.

The Taliban has reportedly accomplished in one year what America’s “war on drugs” failed to pull off in five decades: eliminating the vast majority of Afghanistan’s opium output.
Since the Taliban banned poppy farming nationwide in April 2022, Afghanistan has carried out “the most successful counter-narcotics effort in human history,” the UK Telegraph newspaper reported on Saturday. Afghan poppy production has dropped by an estimated 80% in the past year, the report said. Poppy cultivation has plunged by more than 99%, to around 2,500 acres, in Helmand province, which British troops occupied for much of the 20-year, US-led war in Afghanistan.
The Telegraph noted that no such supply reductions were achieved during Washington’s 50-year war on drugs, including two decades of US presence in Afghanistan. The Central Asian country historically accounts for more than 80% of global opium production and 95% of European opioid supplies. The United Nations, among other observers, has raised concern that the resulting shortfall could lead to more use of synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, which are potentially even more dangerous than heroin.
The reason why the ZOG occupiers did not slash opium production is because they had no desire to slash opium production. They literally assigned troops to protect poppy crops. One can only imagine how much the CIA profited off of this corrupt business.
