Fueled by the Taliban, a powerful drug mafia and the need for a profitable crop that can overcome drought, opium production from poppies in Afghanistan last year rose 49 percent to 6,700 tons ? enough to make about 670 tons of heroin. That's more than 90 percent of the world's supply and more than the world's addicts consume in a year.

Damn, just like gasoline: It takes a while for the price drop to trickle down to the end users. Atleast the druggies have something to look forward to.
