Heroin has become so prevalent in the world that almost everyone has either heard of it's devastating effects or have been affected by it personally. I don't know why I have such a strong will towards wanting to try to help those under the influence of this black magic. I like to believe that it's because I know where most of that heroin comes from. Many sources have come out saying that most of the worlds heroin comes directly from Afghanistan. GlobalResearch goes as far to say that it was the reason we went into Afghanistan when most of the attackers on 9/11 were Saudi Arabian nationals.
“Afghanistan, source of 90% of Earth’s heroin, ended 90% of Earth’s heroin problems when Taliban outlawed opium in 2000. The reason for War in Afghanistan was because Taliban outlawed opium growing which ended economic wars (opium wars) against Iran, Russia and China.“ - http://www.globalresearch.ca
There is little to no doubt that the USA created the mujaheddin which evolved into branches like the Taliban and Daesh (ISIS). This was released in the Operation Cyclone documents that you can look up. All these things loosely tying together can't just be coincidence or could it? Could there be the possibility that the most powerful military in the world invaded Afghanistan to get control of it's poppy fields? It seems as though when diving deeper into this rabbit hole it only brings up more questions. Will we ever get answers though? Operations like Operation Cyclone were produced by the CIA which is an agency famous for keeping it's mouth shut on these issues. So we may never get the answers the world deserves. Just because it was the USA controlling these fields does not mean it isn't a world issue. Millions all over the globe are affected by this plague.
One thing we can possibly get the answers to are the states that are now suing pharmaceutical companies for their “propaganda” focused on selling painkillers (i.e. Heroin). We saw this most recently with Ohio suing, not one, but, FIVE pharmaceutical manufactures.
“The state of Ohio sued five pharmaceutical manufacturers Wednesday, arguing the companies fraudulently marketed addictive prescription painkillers and seeking hundreds of millions of dollars to address Ohio's opioid crisis.” - http://www.cleveland.com
This is not the first of such cases nor will it be the last. The reason being is that the pharma companies in the United States have an iron grip in our politics. They have very powerful lobby groups. From 1998-2017 Pharmaceuticals lobbied $3,591,651,507.00 dollars (https://www.opensecrets.org) Which is number one on the list of Industries. These companies are extremely powerful and would never let up on the opportunity of profits. It seems that they truly don't care, even on a level of letting something as poisonous as heroin out in mass.
I plead you to find help if this poison is in your life. I feel for those who have been murdered by it. Things need to change.

I like poppies I used grow my own and collect the heads to make poppy tea. Reason H is popular is because opium was banned. All drugs must be legalised
to reduce harm. www.leap.cc
I agree, there are several useful things that can be done with poppies. It's amazing how many uses one plant can have. I also agree on legalization, nothing else seems to work. It seems as though we just feed into it by making it illegal. Hopefully time and experience will teach us.
I have been affected by the poppy fields, but in a positive way. I'm a newbie to steemit. I don't know how i can transfer you my steemit post or you just follow my name to take you to it. It is in group opioid I think. Title starts "Doctors running scared..."
Your motives seem altruistic. I know there's a big problem. I live in Ohio. It is not going to be solved the way Gov. Kasich is pushing. Only make it worse. Thanks ~L
