Documentary - 101 East: Asia's Meth Boom
Hi guys, honestly you should be checking out some of these informative documentaries even if they're not your thing, it's nice to just sit back and watch something a little bit different, and get some perspective on problems that people have around the world, instead of listening, for example, the happy horseshit of how wonderful things are around the world. Anyway it's worth checking out.

But where do the drugs come from, and who is profiting from feeding the world's addiction?
So who is making the drugs, and where? The Shan state, Myanmar military affiliated areas within and close to the Shan state, or people simply being condoned by the militia groups? It's probably huge combination. Well, if you ever wondered if there were countries where methamphetamine based drugs are condoned in one way or another look no further than Myanmar I suppose. Life is full of suffering, drugs add to it, but in also offer, a temporary escape. Who knows if this problem won't escalate more in the future?

Investigating why Myanmar has become the world's biggest meth producer, driving a meth explosion in the region.
Excerpt:
But where do the drugs come from, and who is profiting from feeding the world's addiction?
101 East travels to the notorious Golden Triangle to investigate what is driving Asia's meth boom and why authorities are powerless to stop it.
With rare access to the borderlands of Myanmar, the world's largest meth producer, 101 East meets leaders of rebel armies who are often blamed for the country's drug production and explores whether the nation's military could be involved.
On the front line of the drug war, 101 East joins a patrol with the Thai military as they try to stop the massive flow of methamphetamines coming across the border from Myanmar."
So who is making the drugs, and where? The Shan state, Myanmar military affiliated areas within and close to the Shan state, or people simply being condoned by the militia groups? It's probably huge combination. Well, if you ever wondered if there were countries where methamphetamine based drugs are condoned in one way or another look no further than Myanmar I suppose. Life is full of suffering, drugs add to it, but in also offer, a temporary escape. Who knows if this problem won't escalate more in the future?
