Following the arrest of Afghan heroin baron, Haji Bashir Noorzai, we bring back the award-winning report which first exposed him. It contains excellent undercover footage of the Kandahar opium markets.
On the streets of Sangin, it is business as usual for the opium wholesalers and brokers. "We buy it from the farmers here and then we take it to the Iranian border," comments one local dealer. At $800 a kilo, opium is too lucrative to ignore and the traders are relieved the Americans show no intention of closing down their operations. "You take away opium and you suck the oxygen out of this economy," says Michael Ware of Time magazine.

Thank you RUclips for the random recommended video about heroin production, 13 years later
Fr🤣🤣🤣
RUclips USED to be awesome. Now they just recommend the same damn thing every day
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@shahfdx Why not compare how much opium Afghanistan produced under Talibans or USA/CIA. This gives you sense of what's going on, what are bonuses from invasion of Afghanistan. I don't think this video is outdated, not at all for those following faith of Afghanistan over the years.
Seriously!!!🤣😂😂
Such a beautiful flower. I always grow a handful once in awhile. The flower is short lived though, but worth it once mastered
You know what very few ppl know About poppy flowers 💐 I saw them long time back such beautiful flowers and such colors So amazing to watch them So rite you said
Can u teach me please
The drug war will never be stopped..
FRANNY just another money hole for the elite and MIC to grub in like the war on terror
FRANNY gg
It’s not a war if both sides agree 😉
its a war on the people the drugs is big business
Well yes. At some point, it will. Let's look at it like this. If they legalize it, why would anyone do it illegally? That would make no sense. I do agree that there will always be some kind of criminal activity revolving around the drug war but it can definitely be reduced. The reason the state doesn't just legalize it is cause they are also earning hella money from it.
Don't tell me that the American army couldn't destroy the poppy fields during those 19 years war. They're doing business with the afghanis.
could not have said it better and they have been doing it since 1800's ? Including presidents making millions from it as well?
Real talk , it's business . Cash money
Of course they are. Look at our heroin/opiate crisis right now. You cant have such an epidemic without the amounts of heroin being brought into this country. We absolutely are buying opium and bringing it home.
You want to start a tribal uprising? Because that's how you start a tribal uprising, it's the most profitable crop a farmer can plant in Afghanistan and many family's are reliant on it for their income, if the US millitary went around Afghanistan burning the livelihoods of tribesmen, it wouldn't end well.
Alexander it’s also civilians who are in the fields not the terrorists

Absolutely amazing journalism!
Just a bit of info in relation to Haji Bashir Noorzai the convicted former Afghan drug lord in this. He was an early supporter of the Taliban movement, and later worked as an undercover agent on behalf of the U.S. government. Despite being among America's most wanted drug traffickers, he agreed to come to New York City for a debriefing after being promised by his handlers that he would not be arrested. He was arrested ten days after his arrival. Dirty politics or what.
It's a real shit show. The answer my friend is a synthetic cooked up from crap. The fda approved fentinol and other synthetics drugs over real opiates for political reasons. look what happened!
He stupid for trusting the govt
interesting, i cant read the replies.
Agree with you brother but today September 19 2022 he is been released in from prison on an exchange with an American prisoner kept hostage by terrorist group Taliban .
I love how everybody in the comment section knows all the CIA's secret
Hardly secrets in this day and age man:/ maybe in the 60s it was somewhat of a secret, not anymore:/
These people study for themselves. Don't wait to be fed bs. Information is everywhere if you look
It's not a secret
No shit how dont u kno that
Not really a secret when everyone knows about it

@@wiz991 right?
After high school I enrolled in the local community college. I took a class in AutoCAD and had an Army vet as a classmate. One day I struck up a conversation with him and he eventually started showing me pictures of his time in the Middle East. He had many pictures of him standing next to fields of an unknown crop. I curiously asked him what those pictures were about. This was his response. "We would stand guard around poppy fields to protect the crop". Years later after becoming addicted to Heroin I had a realization one day. Big Pharma needs this crop to produce the opiates for their Vicodin, Percocets and Phentanyl that eventually make their way into some young suburburban white kids arm. Haha But the average citizen has his door kicked in and sent to jail if he/she possessed the SAME EXACT product as Big Pharma. Why? BECAUSE IF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT CANT TAX THE DRUG MAN THEN " Its bad for the people", BUT IF THEY CAN MAKE MONEY FROM IT THEN ITS JUST BUSINESS AS USUAL DESPITE THE ADDIXTS DROPPING LIES FLIES IN OHIO, PHILLY, JERSEY, AND EVERYWHERE ELSE IN US CITIES. CAPITALISM AT ITS FINEST
Corporatism isn’t capitalism
Medical grade opium does not come out of Afghanistan. 90% makes it's way into Europe. The higher quality opium you speak of is grown in SE ASIA.
Fentanyl is synthetic, dumbass.
@@brianazmy3156 the CIA definitely bought this opium to make heroin though
This is completely incorrect. I understand the sentiment of not trusting the US government and Big Pharma but if something is incorrect, I got to stay objective and straighten this out. In case you were interested, I also had a decades long heroin habit (a habit of mine which was functional until it wasn't) and have tried many different regions of heroin, certainly in all of the US states. But I digress. I am not going to focus on personal anecdotes here. But for the record, I am 7 years clean today. Now with that out of the way..
Around 99% of the heroin coming into the USA does not come from Afghanistan. The vast majority of heroin is sourced via Mexico (mostly Black), Colombia (powder), and to a *much lesser* extent, South East Asia (powder, main consumer market being Canada). No real pipelines of Afghan Heroin have existed in the US. Not during the Global War on Terror at least.
The destination of Afghan Heroin has always been the European consumer market. In other words, the Afghan Heroin is consumed by Europeans. Not Americans. And the much of, if not all Afghan is #3 heroin, not #4 (or Tar in the case of the US West Coast). That right there should tell you, as basically all US heroin is either #4 (a water-soluble HCL salt), or Tar (a mix of 3 and 6-Monoacetylmorphine). Not #3, which is base heroin.
As for Big Pharma (which did indeed kickstart the US opioid crisis but not with heroin), there was a multilateral initiative to stem the illicit Afghan heroin flow into Europe by instead having Big Pharma purchase the opium (for processing into Pharmaceuticals such as the codones and the morphones), but it was eventually shot down by a committee and never saw fruition. As for the oxycodone and whatnot, the vast majority of the opioid feedstock (Eg. Thebaine for Oxycodone) comes from places like Tanzania.
So to say it again, there never was any Afghan Heroin in the US (not any significant quantities anyways). It was and still is mostly Mexican (West Coast Tar) and Colombian (East Coast Powder) we were using.
The reason the US military guarded the poppy crops was due to a change in policy amidst the "Hearts and Minds" initiative (trying to gain the Afghan locals trust). Prior to this, the US and the Afghan government were tearing and burning down opium poppy crops whenever they found them. As it turned out, destroying the livelihoods of those you are claiming to be "protecting" wasn't working out. Go figure. /s
Anyone who served in say, the South of Afghanistan (say, Helmand Province) would be able to back up every single thing I just said. Again, I understand not trusting the US government and all that (I sure don't) but we got to keep it real. There is no grand conspiracy here, just an urban legend with no real basis. Got to keep it real people.
Best information.

I have an understanding that controlling the production of opium is beneficial to all the countries of this world for medications that are made with the opium, of course, it's a business. Every country looks at controlling or dictating how the opium should be handled. Keeping the poor at bay and closed in is a strategy providing little or no resources for massive financial gain and if a country does not agree with their demands then they are called enemies threatening the stability of the world.

My friend is a marine force recon he told me they would tell the poppy farmers if you give info on the taliban well leave it alone if you wont help we burn the poppy field he also told me once they found a cave full of heroin but that got burnt right away but my point is they would let em grow it if they helped...what happened to the war on drugs?
What's the music at 9:30?
Eradicating opium will not stop addiction, it will forever manifest until the mental health component is addressed. There is much worse drugs people will use.
The war is a failure.Black market no good.Lose control to criminals & they add mayhem to misery.Regulate & gov distributes to registered addicts that have to see a doctor & psych weekly for a chat with programs available as part of the process to get your medicine.Miss the appointment,no dose tomorrow.See the doctor first.They want to get off it they just need help.Not forced.Eventually they come around & want to get off it.It would be a better system then the one in place for the last 70 yrs or so.Cheaper & more humane to the ppl you rule over.Rehab & abstinence program must be available to the addicts.
The main reason they don't grow other crops is it takes over a week to take them to market by that time it's off opium can be stored for years
Yeah ONE of the reasons,also the profit is bigger than other crops..
what's the name of the music used in the beginning?
who made the sound and the voice volume???
The fact that Afghanistan's level of production on a global scale has skyrocketed since US occupation tells you enough about why we don't destroy the crop lol.
And they will tell you they protecting the poppies for big pharma.Which means us.Big pharma gets theirs somewhere else.They don't deal with the Taliban.But our gov does.The shit they protects gets refined into opium then heroin.They know that.Their lackeys distribute it.Go to war & the main objective is to protect the poppies.But you forgot your at war with drugs.Should be burning & eradicating.Sounds like do as I say,not as I do.
In Punjab India there are many addicts of Heroin and its coming from Afghanistan through Pakistan even in India there are many states where poppy opium farming is legal and farmers earn good money from opium but Indians don’t know about the chemicals which Afghanistani used to make heroin from opium if Indians know about chemicals and procedure to make heroin from opium then there will be more heroin and cheap also

true ,,since the war the heroin in england became very weak , and is now flooded every where ,,, how is that i wonder?
@Say less heroin in this country post war is weak as ,,, dont evan get a gouge no more ,,im now clean and glad of it after 20 odd years ,,,,that stuff n crack absolute nightmare existance on that stuff ,crack is no where near evan being classsed as crack any more ,its just garbage what is on the street now ,,
After 26years on heroin it got weak and weaker so I got off it but if it was still strong it would have being impossible to get off
Heroin is everywhere good bussiness whar are u talkin lol
$800 for a kilo of opium?
SIGN ME UP!
ontariobuds yeah & just think how potent it must be before it reaches here & is mixed down to nearly nothing!!
@@davidbaird7246 Their talking OPIUM here, not Heroin. For every Kilo of Opium, about 100 grams of pure Heroin can be produced, maybe more, depending on the morphine content:/ In Thailand an ounce of pure smack cost 400$ Aus an ounce in the mid 80s when I was doing biz there. Here in Tasmania where 80% of the worlds medical opium is grown, the quality is higher with a Kilo of opium containing up to 17% Morphine, not the lower 10% average for Afghani. I know, because ive extracted the morphine and processed it to Smack:/ WE have thousands of hectares of opium growing all over the place,lol
@@TheZacdes dude! Stfu
@@moe7878 hahahahaahha. jealousy is a curse, move here:)
@@tonystevens8075 Dropping the Morphine out is easy if you know basic chemistry, you can find how online. Converting the Morphine to smack by double acetylating it with ascetic anhydride is harder and takes practice but again the procedure is available online. Getting the ascetic anhydride is the hard part. Its watched closely and is VERY expensive on the black market.

One of the best and most sencere reports about Afghanistan I saw the last years. Respect to the bravery of the reporter. Obviously, the NATO forces were in Afghanistan for men-hunting ony; thus having their fun and their sports while fulfilling their duties. Under their roof the drug-barons would establish a dictature of drug- lords with local people as their addicts. Through the huge profits a military terror-machinery would control the entire land till mission Afghanistan is completed and the troops leave jusr before the exhausted people would destroy each other out of desperation, hunger and basic needs unfulfilled.

During this time period in the U.S. the prices of dope dropped from $80 a bundle to $40 a bundle. Sad state of affairs.
Afghanistan heroin RARELY ever got to America less than 5% of heroin in America from 03-15 came from the Golden Crescent 95% of the heroin in America during that time came from Columbia Panama Mexico Nicaragua and Guatemala almost all the heroin 80% east of the Mississippi River came from Colombia and Panama and west it was coming from Mexico and Nicaragua the drop in heroin prices in America had little to do with Afghanistan

@@johnbarry8283 you're right. Tasmania in Australia is the island that growing opium only for their income

Unfortunately, Hajji Bashir was arrested in 2005, and charged under the Kingpin Act in 2008 in the US, which is a minimum life sentence. This is odd because that means the US somehow knew and was able to put a case against him and his underlings showing he sent heroin here to the US and his people sold it here. I don't believe that. He sold to people but not in the US. There were people who brought it to the US. The US Government purchased raw opium for their drugs to create Morphine, Vicodin, and similar products. They set him up somehow. He was released in 2022 September for a prisoner exchange swap Mark Frerichs US civil engineer kidnapped 2020.

@@jasonmills1121 Finest bullshit, its average at best:/ In any case, the big Pharma companies dont buy their Opium from illegal sources. Tasmania grows 80% of the worlds medically used Opium, and IT is the best with up to 17% Morphine content produced from highly bred strains. WE even grow strains made to produce very high concentrations of Thebaine which is the source of Oxy! This growing of two main strains has made it more difficult to raid the fields with the high Morphine content poppies, unless you know your shit, or have a source to tell you where the high Morphine strains are grown. Brewing up high Thebaine strain poppies has killed quite a few people here over the years. These days, unless you know for sure what you are raiding it is wise to extract the Morphine base. An easy chemical procedure!

The US had it's chance to eradicate the poppy fields. But they didn't. Matter of fact if any of their crops were destroyed during a battle of any kind the US had to reimburse the farmers. That my friend is a true story
The US didn't came to America to fight the war on drugs. Destroying the fields make the opium farmers starve. Since almost everyone in Afghanistan is armed and these farmers have at least a ak47 at home destroying the fields would mean the us soldiers wouldn't be able to go outside the cities without being attacked by these farmers. You have to keep in mind that they aren't the taliban. Of course some people profited from the drug trade but if you keep in mind why the us was there not making farmers starve and getting involved in a war against a massive part of the rural population wasn't that stupid.

The opium is also produced in other parts of the world. But 4000 tonnes of opium is a great quantity. Vice versa 300 tonnes of best quality of heroine. The price is Rs 50,000 per kilo in Qandhar. Most of which is passed to Europe and USA. It ies through Pakistan. Moreover, the Cynide is replaced by another formula. The new products like Ice are available in the market. Common people of Afghanistan needs basic nececities. The former gets only 10 percent of the profit. Other crops give nominal income.

why?
I will tell you. Comprehensively.
Prior to the US invasion of Afghanistan when the Taliban took control, they implemented their version of Sharia Law, which includes the use and production of drugs such as heroin as being Haram. So they destroyed the industry by force. They also banned modern technology, music, as well as other facets of life.
Then came the US/British invasion of Afghanistan, as well as the decision by the Taliban to continue the drug trade and opium poppy cultivation in order to *fund their war against the Coalition.* And the cultivation will more than likely end once the Coalition leaves Afghanistan. Or it might not.
This isn't a new phenomena. This is occurring with insurgent groups via civil wars across the world in order to fund their insurgency.
*I will copy-paste a comment I made earlier, towards another commenter who incorrectly claimed that the US Opiate Epidemic was started by the invasion of Afghanistan.*
---Start---
The Opiate Epidemic has very little to do with the invasion of Afghanistan.....
It has everything to do with the Pharmaceutical companies' propensity in the 90's-2000's towards easy access of opioid Pain Killers and the phenomena of doctor-shopping through the lack of legislation surrounding it.
The source of Thebaine (the opiate alkaloid used to manufacture Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Oxymorphone, Hydromorphone etc) which started the epidemic, as well as Codeine and Morphine was never sourced from Afghanistan, but rather via legal domestic (US) crops as well as recently, foreign LEGAL suppliers such as *Tasmania.* NOT AFGHANISTAN. The International Council on Security and Development has proposed legalizing opium production in Afghanistan for legal industries such as pharmaceutical companies in order to draw away funds from the Taliban, but it was shot down (years ago)......
The current US Heroin epidemic (late 2000's-Present, which has stemmed from legislation restricting access to said Pharmaceutical Opioids) has several sources (Latin America), but NONE of them are from Afghanistan. The Afghan Heroin Trade is predominately focused on export towards Europe. Not North America.
I hate all of these quasi-intellectual/conspiricy theorists on RUclips. You are drawing parallels with absolutely no facts whatsoever and people eat it up as if "they know something that others don't".

Instead of being prone to conspiracy theories, I implore you to comprehensively study history and avoid the pit-falls of taking the easy way out via Ignorance.

@@DanaAst One can say either I type fast, or you read slow.
Regardless, it's not my problem. And no, I do not use drugs. I do however have years of research under my belt surrounding drug policy in the US and around the world.
Why? To further my education.

$800 a kilo? Holy shit that's a steal. Now, how to transport it to the U.S.?Hmm. A kilo in the states is any where from $8,000-18,000 depending on quality and city. Some one did the numbers and is making a shitload of money. 💵💵💰💰
