Check your facts! The 'great British Empire' didn't invent opium, it was commonly used in India. Nor did we introduce most of these drugs to the world.The import to China was considered illegal by both Governments and don't forget if there wasn't already a massive market for it in China the British traders wouldn't have been pushing it.By modern standards what we did was wrong but don't quote standards and ethics of 170 years ago as if it made it all our fault today.
