The Taliban's ban on opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan has led to a 95% drop in supply, according to the United Nations. This has resulted in Afghan farmers losing over $1 billion in income from opium sales. The ban has also caused a strain on the healthcare system, as more Americans are seeking treatment for ADHD, leading to drug shortages for medications such as chemotherapy, diabetes, and ADHD. The shortage of medications has disrupted hospitals and pharmacies throughout 2023.
