I just read the UNODC's 2010 World Drug Report. It's so fucking crazy how Afghanistan produces like ~85-90% of the world's heroin. Yet it doesn't touch North America on a large scale.
Iran is the number 1 opiate consuming nation in the world. Afghanistan is up there. Russia consumes 50% of the world's Afghan dope supply. The rest goes to Italy, UK, Spain, Germany.. and then other countries downward. THAT'S 90% of the WORLD Heroin Supply per year.. roughly 500,000 kilos a year CONSUMED. They seize around 10% per year. Next up is Myanmar (Burma) producing the 2nd most under 7%, mostly going to China and SEA. Australia's dope game is pathetic.. barely consuming 1,000 kilos a year. Someone really needs to start pumping that country up with heroin from SEA. Mexico comes in 3rd in production, then Colombia. Not much is mentioned about Mexico/Colombia.. except they produce like 2% of the World's heroin and it's all going to the USA. USA is kind of weak in terms of world consumption. Only like 7%.. And only 2% of the world's heroin is coming to us. It just blows my mind how much heroin there is in Europe compared to the USA. People really need to read up on it.. google UNODC World Drug Report 2010.
