缅甸北部是世界主要毒品生产地之一,该区毒品问题从英国殖民缅甸时期开始出现至今已有长达将近两个世纪的历史。目前缅北毒品正朝着传统毒品不绝新型毒品飙升的趋势发展,毒品问题难以在短期内根除。其国内因素在于:缅甸国内政治问题与民族纠纷、缅北烟农对罂粟的惯性依赖、罂粟禁种与替代种植的有限性;国际因素在于:国际禁毒合作不到位以及毒品市场巨额利润的刺激。 Northern Burma is one of the world’s major drug producers, and the drug problem in the area has been nearly two centuries old since the British colonial period of Burma. At present, drugs in Myanmar are moving toward the trend of soaring new drugs in traditional drugs. The drug problem is difficult to eradicate in a short period of time. The domestic factors are: domestic political problems and ethnic disputes in Burma, inertia dependency of opium poppy on Burma tobacco farmers and restrictions on opium poppy cultivation and alternative cultivation. International factors lie in the fact that the international drug control cooperation is not in place and stimulated by huge profits in the drug market.
