CONFIRMED: The DEA Struck A Deal With Mexico's Most Notorious Drug Cartel

I always assumed big pharma's opiate pills were synthetic. Something sounds absurdly incorrect about them "bringing in" poppy plants from 1/2 way around the world. Logic is telling me the synthesize a molecule to mimic something in nature, to a degree, that also fits into a receptor in our bodies.

And to be honest, I'd never heard of the US trying to eradicate production in Afghanistan, just the opposite ... They openly let it begin again to help win the favor of locals, cus it puts good on the farmers table. There's no doubt we allowed the proliferation of poppy over there again, Jesus, we are handing out stacks of money like its candy to anyone and everyone over there. My buddy was a marine comptroller for a base or something over there... Some of the stories are fucking insane. Insane.

Then why say where it goes if you do not know?

Let's not be so literal here because I didn't say it was a fact, I said....


Where do you think all of that opium ends up?

American pharmaceuticals my guess.

Also, I don't believe it is outside the realm of possibility to think the CIA and other agencies of the like traffic drugs.

The CIA works hand in hand with cartels that is a fact laid before us in this article and they have been caught before shuttling large quantities of illegal drugs around the world. I think it was just in 2012 when a plane rented by the CIA crashed with something like 6 tonnes of cocaine bound for Florida.

The US has it's hand in the cookie jar with their occupation of Afg, which I just read today produces 96% of the world opium supply.

I'd suspect unless you are an insider nobody knows or will know the real story.

But a few things I know for fact are; poppy production is at an all time high which coincides with a rise in opiate pill use and addiction.

I'd say those pills are the worst things ever and to be handed out like they are, so many addicts that create so much chaos in the world.

Not surprising, sometimes I think the US might be the biggest cartel of them all. They've spent 12 years in Afghanistan "attempting" to eradicate opium poppy farming, but I just heard on the nightly lies yesterday that opium production is at an all time high and up 50% since last year.

Where do you think all of that opium ends up? :thinking:

American pharmaceuticals my guess.

Meanwhile; it's like a zombie apocalypse with all of these cracked out pill heads running around these days.

Russia is where it goes...US import is coming from South/Central America and Mex. There are plenty of Russian heroin addicts...and it's logical..being so close to Afghanistan..that the US is taking that market. Of course...who the hell really knows?...but we are not fighting in Afghanistan for no profit...war being a racket and all. Somebody is getting paid. Russia provides a huge market

SO WHAT

The question is WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

And the answer is NOTHING.

Nothing...because there is nothing to be done. It's just business. The Narco business has existed for 100's of yrs...nothing being done now..is very new. Different locations...different faces...but all and all...same as always

Exactly.

SO WHAT!

Nothing new :dance013:

Well we could be proactive: Don't use heroin or cocaine. Eliminate the market...and that eliminates their profits. Until that happens (lol) nothing will stop governments from being involved in the Narco trades.

So many wars have been fought over this trade...centuries of wars..but it's as strong a market as ever. It's an interesting subject to brush up on.

Something tells me you and I already are doing this, and the market still exists! You can't stop the demand for it EVER.

Why dont people just accept that there will always be crack heads, just make the shit legal and cut the hastle, back in the day it was one of the most common remedies wasn't it?
 
^^anyone know how it does work? say you had a medical Co and wanted to make an Opium based/derived pain killer, who would you go to? or would you need some medical licence or ? the Opium base has to come from somewhere.
Infact I saw a news programme (on Russian news) showing fields full of poppies,
growing in the UK, due to a world shortage, they said.

here you go mack these are threads that have had this argument long before us and they seem to have a few more of the answers and indicators our looking for that america might be the culpriate of he "missing poppie" maybe it will help connect some of the ties people seem to believe are there. stay thirsty my freinds....for the truth with the occasional dos eques ;)
 
i also believe with thte limited amount of concentrates exploration thats been done in the thc world were gonna see pharm companies get in on the blasted down product except these dispensaries dont have nearly the equipment or staff to do state of the art stuff so that being said we may see poppie disappear one day as the bases in these meds and maybe a new form of mj concentrate as they are both equally classified in the law as narcotics as well

I do not disagree. People should be free to ingest whatever they choose to ingest...for better or for worse. Freedom would be in...having the choice...but..

there is too much illicit money to be made...so I don't see this ever happening (again..for better or for worse) so yeah..

the Narco wars will continue

i think they are transporting post raw state man i belive your intuition is correct in the sense that it would seem weird to ship raw poppy around the world

wtf?
have you used both? couldn't you tell the difference?
no one is going to supplant opium/heroin based meds with cannabis oil. period.
this wasn't even about the drugs...it was exposing the hypocrocy our gooberment excercises. ffs.

i wonder why sometimes...but now it seems obvious.

well actually weve isolated cannibinoids like cbd that are already in mass production in many pills even tylonel is researching with it so ergo you have no clue what your saying trich as a former FTO in the fire and ems world i seem to know much more about the bases of these maeds than you so while you may know growing please understand that pharmaceuticals doesnt seem to be your strong suit again....FFS.... holy crap some people just open their mouths to hear themselves talk

dea,fbi ,cia whatever. no suprise

that's the actual bottom line

when you and I do it theres a problem but when they do it its for "the greater good" and when you have the morons that propagate the bullshit, like mindless drones, for them then it makes everything that much easier for them.

fuck every last one of their hypocritical asses straight to hell

it just all makes me think: you ever seriously just look around this place and just wish you were some place else? man I tell you if it weren't for my wife and kids I woulda been gone a loooong ass time ago. kept tellin my wife I was seriously thinking about bouncing and she really doesn't believe me.

just not a consumer or capitalist like that, more of a peace grass roots sort of guy, just need what I need and that's it

fyi, the taliban had outlawed opium cultivation by military force in order to monopolize the crop; not because of some sort of romantic moral ideology lol...
