Someone tell me again why British, US and other Nato troops are dying on a daily basis protecting the opium poppy fields in Afghanistan, production has risen over 500% since the occupation and most of the refined product ends up in the 'west' . Seems to me if our Govts. were serious about the 'drug problem' the poppy fields would have been napalmed and replanted to grow food .
If anyone thinks hard drugs are just a pleasant way of passing a few hours suggest you visit the city near to where I live (Oakland Ca.) and see how the effects of Cocaine/crack has devastated the place.
