for posting, very sad.
Does anyone know how this heroin problem arose in Pakistan - where are the drugs coming from?

Karachi became the major port in Western Hindistan and Central Asia for the British Raj. During this time, the British Empire also traded and trafficked in opium, among other narcotics. It is safe to assume that the British empire was the first modern power to 'hook' an entire nation on a narcotic for its own benefit, eg. China. The rise of heroin addiction from opium in Karachi and Pakistan in general can be laid at the feet of the British, with collusion from the usual suspects among Muslim ranks.
