Today there is a war, an opium war to be exact. If the british can not continue to replenish their opium stash like my grandma can, then their will be plenty of consequences to face. Such as hospital patients in extreme pain because of the lack of opiates. Their will be mass withdrawal from heroin oxycontin and plenty of other opiate addictions. there will surely be no shortage of pain if the chinese discontinue the trade of opiates to the british government. This will cause a huge rise in the cost of opiate of course because of tariff put on by other governments and the people of britain will be willing to pay more to receive their medicine.
