The Afghan War: Opium for Big Pharma and Lithium for Big Tech

Here’s something for you to consider, when reflecting on the Afghan War. In the early ’00s, the Taliban had all but entirely eradicated the opium trade, eradicating about 90% of the world’s supply.

They did it because drug use is Haram (a sin), in their view.

Grown from poppies, Opium, of course, is the active ingredient in street drugs like heroin and pharmaceuticals like oxycontin.

Once in Afghanistan, troops began immediately guarding the poppy fields and the Opium trade went back into full swing.
