State terror directed at America, North and Central

Bijan is a cook and dealer of sheesheh – crystal meth – which has exploded on the Iranian drug market and, for the first time, overtaken heroin to become the country's second most popular drug (opium still tops the list). Meth production in the country has been expanding at an astonishing rate. According to a 2013 study by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the Iranian government first reported manufacture of the drug just six years ago, when four production facilities were seized. By 2012, though, Iran was the world's fourth highest importer of pseudoephedrine, the main precursor chemical used in the production of crystal meth. Research carried out by the State Welfare Organisation shows that over half a million Tehranis between the ages of 15 and 45 have used it at least once.
Hezbollah with its connections to the Mexican cartels, and via Venezuela likely.  We are being targeted by a state sponsor on our Southern border, Mexico is part victim in the scheme.

Some of the political distribution will have a sign flip, like me, maybe Iran is a little too devious for my taste. This is the part I feared, though the evidence still mostly points to Chinese gangs. But we still have North Korea and Iran shipping the stuff.

The drug threat is serious enough to severely restrict the level of safe activities a typical kid can engage in. Parties are suspect, everything needs to be bottle or packaged. Strange pipes avoided, beware even the vaping. Stricter curfews, and generally unsafe conditions all the way to open drug wars in some neighborhoods. If state actors are involved, then this is a security issue and Trump be getting more (hold your nose) Nixon voters.
