The main criticism that I have with this article is mainly dealing with issue of citation and the sources it has been using. Since majority have been dubbed through commercial new outlet, which tend to have a fixated biased. More over, the development of the industry's history does not go how the trade expanded rather it give a bare bone summary of an expansive network, that contributes to a large impact on the economy and the stratification within the community; with a particular emphasis on the two states' agrarian development and production ergo poppy flowers.--Amejan26 (talk) 06:43, 17 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Both Opium production in Myanmar and the article about Golden Triangle (Southeast Asia) appear to cover similar ground, although they are not identical. I am wondering if there would be any benefit in merging these two articles, or at least creating two clear forks, one discussing the larger Golden Triangle in more general terms and the other talking about what is happening in Myanmar with Opium production. This would require an exchange of information between the two articles; in other words, both a merger and a fork at the same time. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 10:56, 11 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
