Do you know what the chemical precursors are and what else they are used for?

I presumed they were not needed- being that the locals are all high.

Ie you didnt bother to actually think about "that part of the mess" but still concluded that the video made sense. Hint: they are all common chemicals that have many other uses. The idiot in the video is just deflecting blame from their inability to control their own agriculture.

2 of the precursors are used in making corn masa (calcium hydroxide) and aspirin (acetic anhydride). The problem is always the opium growers not the chem companies that may have a few kilograms of product stolen or redirected into the drug trade.

I would make a terrible drug addict.

That's like blaming farmers for their stolen anhydrous ammonia (used for making meth).

Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, an ester normally synthesized by reacting salicylic acid with acetic anhydride using H2SO3 or H3PO4 as a catalyst (I have made it). Cal (calcium hydroxide) is used to soak the skins off corn to make nixtamal, and the process greatly increases the bioavailability of niacin.

Acetic anhydride is reacted with morphine to produce heroin (diacetylmorphine).

I read somewhere that tankers of acetic anhydride are driven from Pakistan into Afghanistan to produce heroin, most of which remains in Asia and Europe, particularly Russia.

Was I unclear about which was used to make each?

I initially misread your post. I figured I'd elaborate a little for those who might be interested.
