Mason is a Herion addict.

Herion is an opiate made from the juice of the opium poppy and is a major export of Afghanistan.

From Wikipedia:
"In 2007, 92% of the opiates on the world market originated in Afghanistan. This amounts to an export value of about $4 billion, with a quarter being earned by opium farmers and the rest going to district officials, insurgents, warlords, drug traffickers"

What a complicated place the world has become.
Fair Trade.
