Now they grow little but more addict than before, why?

Government stop people grow opium, move people off land, no land to grow rice, everyone drink whiskey smoke opium forget about life before.

You ever see Akha home people sleep on dirt? Me never see before. Look at walls and roof. These people very poor, bamboo is not good kind.

Lao govt, USA govt, everyone work together now. Only people not happy is Akha, no money for rice.

I think better before Lao hate USA.
