Yea i remember reading somewhere thay Afghanistan produces over 80% of the worlds opium.[/quote]
Guess where the 2nd biggest producer is? Burma( Myammar)....This is why we want relations with them and to cut China off from the South Asia trade.

Sometimes its for financial gain. Sometimes it's for concepts such as 'prestige'.

Is that the only way the US can have some sort of leverage with China?
By controlling the worlds opium supply?

The leverage is to control the region's pathways( land,air,water) trades and partnerships. It's not such much about drugs.

but through drug distribution we can accomplish other goals my brother. Government put crack in the black community to cause it to rot on the inside. Heroin use in the middle east has peaked since our intervention in Afghanistan, especially in Iran, our #1 enemy and greatest competition. Its much easier to get them to destroy themselves, then its like taking candy from a baby, no an aborted fetus.
Problem is....Iran was never my enemy or yours. They are no threat. You can't destroy a nation off drugs alone...you have to completely destroy their rights to live.

If i made it seem like i was against iran, thats only because I was being sarcastic at one point. I agree with you, the people are ok with each other but the governments seek to divide us. True, they cant destroy a nation off drugs alone, but it makes good sense to wait until wood is dry and brittle before hacking it with an axe. and even the strongest oak will split into with ease once dried and brittle.
Drugs are to sedate some who looking for the themselves and found wickedness. That doesn't effect everyone.

for sure man, im not saying the whole populus is going to pull a Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but heres the deal. iran is a developing nation, not yet independent but on the path. theyve been barred and sanctioned lightly since they broke their shackles with their revolution. this in addition to the recent sanctions and some issues perpetuated by the iranian government itself produces a bad situation for the countries youth. I dont know your age, but Im in college and im stressing about work living in the US so I can only imagine how they are feeling.this makes them even more prone to becoming users. so now many of the ones who would be above that will fall victim, as they say, the devil finds work for idle hands. if the black community had lower unemployment, our drug use would be much lower as well. this sharing of ideas is good, its difficult to speak this way publicly

ok i see what you mean, the heroin is not the main objective, merely the icing on the cake.
I only ask that because I know China is big on opium in their culture.

yeah, the British put them on to that stuff man. they gave the brits good tea and the the brits gave them heroin. if you have a good teacher, European history can be as useful as AA history
Actually Iran is one of the last sovereign nations left on earth. They are actually barred and sanctioned heavily. The Revolution was fake and created from the outside. It's not just the drug problem in the black community but a division problem. Every section has been divided in all field aspects to keep blacks from connecting becoming a unified force.
