Getting High
Not only is opium easy to get your hands on in Iran and others surrounding countries, it is also super cheap. Since it is illegal to drink alcohol, millions of Iranians take to opium. The use of the drug is so widespread that Iran has one of the highest opiate addiction rates worldwide.
