I’m pretty sure that most opiates in the western world are entirely synthetic. Maybe not pure morphine, but hydrocodone/fentanyl, and oxymorphone don’t need natural ingredients.

I could be wrong, but I think that’s the case.

Benadryl is a bit cheaper than heroin.
You can still get smack via Mexico.

If you think only Democrats use drugs, you’re confused.

I don’t know if he dabbles in heroin. His coke connections should be safe.

Something G.W. Bush refused to do. Think about it.

Smack? Doesn’t that stain your teeth or plug up your lungs? That’s no good. Besides it may be a gateway drug.

Taliban is lying.....80-85% of the worlds opium comes from Afghanistan. They’ll never give it up.

Right! The Taliban is part of the Afghan narco cartel. They force the farmers to grow opium or hashish.

The Taliban farm opium on a predictable schedule so this is propaganda. Fun fact, the Taliban don’t fight during harvest season which is when Trump had the military scheduled to leave. Biden reversed that and ordered the US out during their fighting season.

They did outlaw when they were in charge before 9/11.
Highest yields ever were when we were there.
