Laos' war on drugs

Opium production in Laos has been a way of life for most villagers. As recent as 2004, Laos was the third highest producer of opium in the world with an output of 20 tons. As a result, 63,000 people are now addicted to opium. The Lao Government introduced a programme, Opium Elimination Campaign, in 1999 to limit opium production. Authorities claim that 93% of the country’s poppy fields have been eliminated but treating addicts poses a challenge. (5 min., 27 sec.)
