Article Synopsis
- The Golden Crescent region, which includes Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, is a major global center for opium production, heavily impacted by ongoing conflict and terrorism.
- The rise in heroin trade has worsened socio-economic conditions, leading to increased opiate addiction and a surge in related health issues, such as HIV.
- Effective solutions include treating drug use as a mental health issue, promoting the cultivation of legal crops instead of opium, and raising public awareness about the dangers of opium.
