    @silversobe Yah, and the black market also creates even more outrageous profits for those supposedly fighting it. The government doesn’t want to end the war on drugs, because its filled with a bunch of crooks and cronies that make massive amounts of money on private prisons, arm’s sales, and sometimes even illicit drug sales (Iran-Contra affair).

    @masterbamfanatic Hey, most of them are people with kids trying to raise their families.Their economy wasn’t so bad until the Soviets and US tried to dominate the region. I personally think the USSR and US interest in Afghanistan has to do with the strategic advantage of being close to Iran. The Soviets, knowing the unpopularity of the Shah, wanted to give weapons to Iranian communist groups to ultimately have access to their oil. America’s government wants essentially the same thing.

    I’d buy some of their hash.if western nations stopped discriminating against the near east’s preference for hash over alcohol, the Afghanis could raise their economy up from the ashes and make a more modern city. Its like American grain farmers in the 18th century. A lot of their economy subsisted on moonshine and tobacco. Its hypocritical from the vantage point of the US.

    the usa wants to make money off drugs aswell as afghanistans vast mineral deposits, oil, gas, copper, lithium etc. they are a morally deplorable capitalist society so that is what runs them. drugs support arms industries, prison industrial complex, lawyers, cia etc. from a west drugs perspective the talliban was a better government.

    Regulate drugs and you destroy the black market. The drug war creates the outrageous profits resulting in cartels and drug lords.

    Opium is used to make analgesic drugs like Morphine and diamorphine used for palliative care for cancer pain and also for many other ailments. This opium produced by poor Afghan farmers must be used for medical purpose instead for drug addiction. opium was cultivated by the British in the past in these regions and was used all around the world. Use Opium for a good reason and save the Afghan farmers who sell 1Kg of Opium for under 50$s to drug trafficers who make millions using it.

    to hit drugs hit addicts in west then talliban won’t grow poppies. banks want addicts as this make money for prison industrial complex, lawyers, security companies, defence companies etc. the west should euthanise druggies then wars in afghanistan would not be needed. liberal western people views fuel drug use.

    So if child prostitution was a huge source of income there, it would be overlooked because it’s good for the economy?

    THe biggest bullshit I ever heard. By the way, the poppies are being killed by a fungus now, so in a few years it will be gone. Such dumb comment, and to know Russian youth die each day because of this moronic practice..
