The invasion of Afghanistan saw a (iirc) 900% increase in poppy production. This was after reports of how they would work with farmers to reduce production.

Drug control isn’t about suppression; it’s about control. The opium wars emphasize that. Look at the countries that banned it, but then turned around and produced/bought and sold it to other countries for profit and societal destabilization.
