Articles are hit and miss on info found one that out street prices for a kilo of up to 80% pure heroin was 65 a kilo in 2014 and one from 2023 saying wholesale it was 50 to 100k plus a kilo, idk how that would break down conversion wise though

This seems to be more for religious reasons, where as 2000 was to be seen as legitimate government, all though they do seem to be doing some of that here as well. It seems farmers are trying to grow wheat but it’s not profitable, wonder when the taliban starts legalizing and promoting hemp and cannabis

I’m old enough to remember when they announced the same ban in 2000. It was a complete farce and the illegal trade carried on for years. This time they seem to have actually eradicated much of the crops. I hope it holds in the face of corruption and easy money.

Golden triangle region(primarily Myanmar) and no in terms of usage/supply no slowdown yet, last year's harvest according to un was 10% higher than average.

Who is the number 2 supplier.   Does this mean world wide Heroin supply is down drastically?
