Well I might if I knew what it was... opium/heroin? I notice that the third man from the left is wearing a hat similar to those that men from Afghanistan wear. The powder looks like heroin but there are bags of brown leaves, too. What are they? Same product ground down? Google doesn't know so maybe QLers can enlighten me.
