When I went back home in 2011, I learned this tree called Geed Cimraanka.

Aparently, it is natural opium poppy tree in Somalia where young man get addicted to it. It does not need any processing since Somalia's harsh winter season naturally processes it.

Young men get addicted to it, and the way you know someone is having it is, that person will have unstoppable laughing and spitting. I saw a young man laughing allnight by his own without anyone talking to him. I've asked the folks in the town "Waar what happened to kii yaraa ee ina Jaamac miyuu ku dhuftay?" People asked me what do you mean? I told them how come he is laughing allnight. That is when people told me "Waar Geed Cimraan buu ka dhergay."

That is when I inquired more about this naturally growing tree that is causing young men to hallucinate and nonstop laughing for hours. I've learned that Somalis did not know it until Chinese engineers who were building the highway between Beledweyne till Burao arrived in the late 1970s. The Chinese engineers found this natural plant that provides them some form of leisure since alcohol was rarely available in Somalia at that time, and the Somali emloyees who were working with the Chinese firm found something odd about the Chinese behaviour.

The Chinese were going to the bushes in the afternoon. And then they were coming back hallucinating and throwing endless laughing. That was when the Somali employees found out about nuts that Chinese engineers were going after and which tree they come from.

lt occurred to me the money that can be made from this tree by extorting it to overseas but was afraid of the risk.

That is definitely not poppies.
It's something else, I wonder what it is that the Chinese recognised it.
I am curious
