The Golden Triangle lies on the spit of land formed by joins of the Ruak river and the mighty Mekong. Across the Ruak is Myanmar, and across the Mekong is Laos. The opium poppies are started growing in September-October and are harvested during February-March. After flowering the bulbs are scribed vertically with a razor at ~20 cuts per bulb. The milky sap seeps out and blackens as it oxidizes. It merely takes only about a gram of that substance for a smoke. Rub off some with a spoon, and it's ready for smoke. Five kilograms of sap will extract about 5 grams of heroin.
