Taliban or anyone in Afghanistan doesn't refine heroin.

Heroin is refined in France.  Afghanistan does NOT have any heroin.

What Afghanistan has is an excellent supply of Opium Poppies which are the
source of morphine which is used by doctors and hospitals world-wide to
alleviate the pain and suffering of injured and suffering patients including
those who are terminally ill or suffering with cancer.

Without this crop, we would not have medical morphine.

The problem comes when some of the unrefined opium paste that is produced in
Afghanistan is illegally diverted from the legitimate channels of use and
supplied to the French who purify it into morphine for legitimate sale to
doctors and pharmacies, but illegally also further refine it into heroin
which destroys those who put it into their bodies, but makes them billions
of dollars.

I wonder why the French didn't support us in Afghanistan?  Is it because
their illegal activities based on illicit trade and use of opium from
Afghanistan is refined by their chemists in Marseilles (and other places)
and is a substantial part of their Gross National Product, and that they
have a much bigger part and responsibility in injuring people with their
heroin?
