Afghanistan fastest-growing maker of methamphetamine, U.N. drug agency says

Annual meth seizure totals from inside the country rose from less than 100 kilograms (220 pounds) in 2019 to nearly 2,700 kilograms (6,000 pounds) in 2021, suggesting increased production

Right! Suggested!!! Like the poor people of Afghanistan have the money and resources to import that much!

So how did your reckless Afghanistan adventure work out, US neocons/neolibs?

Pretty good. I mean you stood by and watched and now want to claim this is the US's fault without evidence so I figure this is a good litmus test as to who is an apologist for Russia/China. Also it's not an "adventure" when your country is attacked from the other country's territory and the government doesn't do anything about it.

Taiwan,trillion dollar failure,think of what this money could of done to help desperate American

They used to produce some nice hash too.

And who gave them all this technology? Any guess? The USA itself, when occupying Afghanistan and the army officers were making money out of the controlled production of opium from there. Now they have to cry otherwise.

Afghanistan has been producing opium since the 18th century and you're blaming the US?! A country that has been doing this for so long can figure out the tech by themselves.

The country's main exports are rugs, dried fruit, and medicinal plants. How much money do you these items bring in? The Taliban are clearly involved in the meth and opium trade as it's a major cash source. Their claims that they're fighting the drug trade is all deception. They don't care cause the majority is being exported to mainly Western nations.

Memories of Afghan Black from my teenage years. But I have a better memory of Afghan raisins. I once had a job that involved unloading boxes of raisins that had come by truck from Afghanistan to Scotland. I hope they are still producing them.

And who gave them all this technology? Any guess?

The how to is no big secret. You can find plenty of information on the internet. There is no technical sophistication required to produce it and the demand is global.
