To be fair, Afghanistan was a huge drug producer before the US/NATO invaded. Have they become a giant consumer as well?
As far as I know, under the Taliban in the 90s there was by far the lowest amount of drug export from Afghanistan. Now its basically a pure narco/military state, far more then Columbia ever was.
