Methamphetamine trafficking in Afghanistan and neighbouring countries is surging, with a drastic increase in seizures of the drug in five years from 2.5 tons in 2017 to 29.7 tons in 2021, according to a report published today by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
UNODC findings further suggest that heroin trafficking has continued, although at a lower rate, after the Taliban returned to power in August 2021 and introduced a drug ban in April 2022. Methamphetamine trafficking, however, has intensified since the ban, indicating a rapid expansion of the drug’s manufacture and a possible reshaping of illicit drug markets long dominated by Afghan opiates.
High regional and global demand for methamphetamine, coupled with a saturated market for opiates could push further expansion of manufacture of methamphetamine and other synthetic drugs, creating a wave of new addicts in its wake.
