The [resource curse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_curse) is the phenomenon of countries with an abundance of natural resources (such as fossil fuels and certain minerals) having less economic growth, less democracy, or worse development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources.

I'm wondering if having the terrain and climate conducive to producing illicit drugs can be added to that list of resources that potentially "curse" a country.

Examples could be Afghanistan, whose only major export is poppy products that are estimated to [account for more than 80 percent of global opium and heroin supplies,](https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/8/16/opium-afghanistans-illicit-drug-trade-that-helped-fuel-taliban) and Colombia, which recently [set a record high for cocaine production.](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-66784678)

Do such countries suffer in the same way, and for the same reasons, as the ones with mineral resources to extract? And if so, is [the "Norway model"](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0301421513009348) a viable way out for them?
