Opium Poppy by Nobody: 8:27pm On Feb 13, 2019
So cannabis is grown here in Africa especially Nigeria, so we don't need to import marijuana from abroad.

But what about Opium? How come we don't grow opium? Afterall, our climate and that of Mexico is thesame, is it not? But opium is largely grown in Mexico.

If we grow our own opium, we would not have to import heroin and opioid pills like tramadol. All our tramado pills come from India, and our heroin are imported from Europe.

If we had our own opium fields we could manufacture our own heroin and other opioid pills like tramadol, without having to import any.

So why do we continue to import rather than grow our own opium and manufacture our own opioid drugs? Would that not be more beneficial to the drug dealers? Would they not be able to make more profit? So why not?

Think about it, by importing pills from India, they are loosing profit because their containers are always being seized and their products burnt, not only that, just to get their product to come in to the country, do you know how many people they have to bribe? So many, and these people who collect bribe are never satisfied, they keep asking for more and more, because of all these it has forced them to Jack up their prices, and now it has completely skyrocketed, and because of that they are loosing their customer base.

Look at marijuana, why do you think the market is always stable, it's because they don't have to go through all that bullshit that tramadol goes through, and that is because they have their plantation fields right here in Nigeria.

Don't just say someone is not making sense, contribute your own words and prove me wrong, give your reasons and explain how I am not making sense.

Why should i feel any concern for illegal drug pedler. It makes no sense whatsoever. Go to nearest psychiatric hospital and see the level of disarray and discomfort it has caused for so many families. I said u were making sense because u stated with marijuana which to some extent can contribute to the economy. But other opioid cant.

Actually opium is also grown in some parts of Europe, such as Turkey, is also grown in Mexico too which happens to be in South America El chapo grew it in Mexico, it's also grown in Egypt and Tunisia too which are both in North Africa.

A research was also conducted and it has proven that opium can actually be grown in South Africa.

I know all this because im a huge fan of opium, I live for opioids and I read alot about it too.

I'm not sure about this though but I think it can be grown in Jos and also in Gembu.

You don't need to import coca. We have farms, though not as much as neighbouring countries. Anyone with a farm will never allow himself to be caught, pockets get fattened and the law looks the other way. Most processed coke is actually imported, but you would be surprised at the number of labs in this country. Tramadol is processed and packaged in Nigeria. This country will never allow such dealings to be honest, produce coca and export? Dude you tripping. Lol. Maybe in another generation. Not this. My 50 bucks.

Really? Tramadol is processed and packaged here in Nigeria ? Pls I'm in Abuja where can I get the ones that are processed and packaged here? The only ones that my dealers have is that of 225mg imported from India and it's very expensive. A single pill cost #300 to #400.
