If you think this is simply too "conspiratorial" or sinister to be true then just read the 1999 Reuters article about Dick Grasso, the head of the NYSE at the time, visiting the FARC guerillas in Columbia to ask them to invest their coc aine profits in Wall Street. That's as explicit a cold call as they come.

The Moscow theater hostage rescue used an opiate based gas.
It was lethal. Pump a few cylinders of that into buildings and you have a heck of a weapon.
It would be the ultimate improvised biochemical weapon.
Heroin is the base drug of morphine. The opium poppy, papaver somniferum, is the source of opium, the most commonly used, and most effective natural pain killer in man's history. Heroin is made from opium. I fear that opium and heroin have become new hot commodities and there is no way that that much opium/heroin could be intended for "recreational" use -- or even to supply addicts. It seems that someone is banking heavily on a lot of people being in a lot of physical pain.

Afghanistan produces opium for recreational purposes only. Surely the pharmaceutical companies have legitimate sources (or produce it artificially) that would not be effected by this supposed "hording of heroin as a commodity" theory.

When I first saw the article I immediately thought of the movie "Children of Men". In it the gov. offered all citizens who wanted to "voluntarily" off themselves to alleviate the population pressure a suicide kit. This kit contained a high dose of narcotic painkiller. Could this be in the offering as the world slides into unsustainability?

Our morphine and codeine come from the Opium flower. From its mass production. The same sources that produce Heroin.

Yes but a few years ago Afghanistan was not really producing ANY. Where ever the pharma companies were getting it from at that time, it surely was NOT Afghanistan.
