Drug info - Why don't people grow opium in the U.S. and make H here?

[dyingtomorrow]

SWIM is just curious why people don't grow the poppies here and make H or morphine? Does anyone know the reason?

Sorry if this is a stupid or obvious question, but SWIM sees huge patches of poppies growing in some places, and wonders why someone with a couple acres couldn't just make themselves all the H or morphine they could want.

Or England too, or anywhere in Europe.


Is the refinement process too hard here or something? Law enforcement? Economic reasons? SWIM doesn't get it.
