@Phaedrus Doesn't make any sense. You could easily grow poppy in the US (dk whether it is legal but afaik it is at least legal to grow that poppy sort in Austria where the seed is used for baking). The CIA would be stupid investing tons of money in wars in Afghanistan when domestic production would be so much cheaper. For the poppy - once the CIA had the plants, production of opium would be easy. As previously said the plant is legally grown in Austria, not legal to grow in Germany and IDK for the rest of the EU. But the seed is used for baking and cooking all over Europe. It's just illegal to grow the plants for opium production.
