Opium

If you're referrring to the opium wars between China and Britain, the British bought opium from growers in India (which was under British control at the time).

The British won the first and second Opium War.

The first opium war began, in very brief words, because China wanted to control the importing of Opium from Britain, and Britain was not a fan since its largest export to China was Opium and imported tea.

There were two Opium Wars sometimes called the Anglo-Chinese war.

Both were struggles about trade rights in China. The high tarriff placed

on imported opium by the Chinese Government and the attempt by Anglo

traders to circumvent the tax resulted in the Chines siezure of about four

million pounds from the warehouses of the Traders. The Chinese burned

the opium. In the war that followed the British occupied Canton and the

1842 Treaty of Nanking gave Britain trading concessions and Hong Kong.

The French and Americans demand for equal trading rights brought on the

second Opium War which was resolved by the 1958 Treaty of Tienstin,

granting French and America to trade in China on an equal footing with

the British. It also allowed missionary entry into China and to hold and

own property within China. Most favored trading status appears to be

founded on the right to sell drugs, property rights, and the desire to

spread your own beliefs to others.

Poppy is a flower that grows up to 3 feet tall or so. It doesn't necessarily grow in the rainforest, rather farmers clear the rainforest to cultivate poppy in rural parts of the rainforest. Poppy grows on the ground, but the problem is the destruction of the rainforest that comes with growing it. Besides physically damaging the rainforest, the farmers, guerrillas, and cartel build roads that have devastating edge effects to the ecosystems.

Poppies actually would not grow well in rain forests, as they require soil that drains well and at least partial direct sun. That is why they do well in places like Afghanistan.

Warren Delano, FDR's grandfather, was an opiumtrader and his grandson signed the amendment that ended alcohol prohibition.

Oral ingestion, injection, and vaporizing (smoking)

Opium is a drug - one of the World's oldest, longest, and most widely used drugs. Also, many other drugs are derived from opium, such as morphine, heroin, and all other opiates. Opioids - meaning "opiate-shaped" or "opiate-like" - are synthetic drugs, modeled on the types of molecules found in opium.

The Opium Wars, also known as the Anglo-Chinese Wars, were the climax of trade disputes and diplomatic difficulties between China under the Qing Dynasty and the British Empire after China sought to restrict British opium traffickers. To most Chinese, a century of humiliation began with this war, in which Westerners sought to force a deadly drug on an Asian people, and then imposed an unequal treaty that pried open their country and annexed the island that became Hong Kong. The British struck upon an ingenious way to reduce a huge trade deficit. Their merchants bribed Chinese officials to allow entry of chests of opium from Britishruled India, though its importation had long been banned by imperial decree. Imports soared, and nearly every American company followed suit, acquiring "black dirt" in Turkey or as agents for Indian producers.

Commissioner Lin Tsehsu proceeded to Canton, seized vast stocks of opium and dumped the chests in the sea. This, plus a melee in which drunken sailors killed a Chinese villager, furnished the spark for the Opium War, initiated by Lord Palmerston, the British Prime Minister, and waged with determination to obtain full compensation for the opium. The Celestial Empire was humbled, forced to open five ports to foreign traders and to permit a British colony at Hong Kong. The Opium War was no doubt the event that opened China's doors to the outside world. Before 1842, China was closed and self isolated.
