If poppies can grow all over the world, why is it that opium production is so heavily concentrated in Afghanistan?
In: 8505
It’s legal, not ecological. Most other nations actively work to stop or heavily control the production of certain drugs. Afghanistan has a significant portion of their economy based around poppy growth and opium/heroin. Many government officials make quite a lot of money from the drug industry. So there isn’t anyone around stopping them, its a relatively easy way for the populace to make some money, and there is a significant global demand (legal and illegal).
