Synthetic Drug Trade Asia

I was looking for an interesting article on the Internet and I found one published by Voice of America, and the article is titled, "UN: Little Progress Against Asia's Booming Synthetic Drugs Trade," by Ron Corben. This article is about the illegal drug trade in Asia, and the growth of drug trade in Southeast Asia. The United Nations had a conference in Bangkok about this issue and how drug dealers are using the internet to sell drugs now. East and Southeast Asia drug trafficking has risen in the past year. The UN believes that if these countries make it more difficult for the drug dealers to get the chemicals needed to create these drugs then the production will slow down. The country with the most trafficking, and production problem is Burma. So if anyone wants to go to Burma do not go wondering off in the forest by your self thats how people end up dead. China is having an issue with consumers that are using these drugs because all the drugs made in Burma end up in China and Thailand.
