    Smuggling Heroin production in Afghanistan has RISEN 61%

    It increased by 61 per cent last year alone.

    What a diabolical, infuriating failure.

Powering what? All tiny cells and tiny screens and bigger cells and bigger screens and FUCK YOU for sitting there and slowly making things worse...

    No surprise. What else do the farmers have to grow besides opium? Their market for regular crops has been fucked up by our invasion so they grow the only thing they can make enough money from to live, opiium is the only thing that makes them decent money. It's not nearly as much as it should be though, they get ripped off in comparison to what that shit is worth. It's supply and demand, in afghanistan there isn't nearly the market and opium/heroin doesn't cost much at all. So the cartels/gangs pay enough for them to want to grow it and make millions by smuggling it into a place where the demand makes them millions off of what actually cost a tiny percentage of that.

    I agree completely, it just goes to show how much a failure the war on drugs has been in the UK.

    185 tons to 5,800 tons is a rise of 61%?

    I'm not sure but I think your math might be a little off.

    Can't we all just hit a bong

    Yeah I know it's pretty much a failure in most places, but all I hear about is "The war on drugs in America!"
    Just wanted to show it's failing here, too.

    Of course the State is promoting it, the markup makes heroin and cocaine valuable means of generating easy cash in secerecy. The black market is where the money lies, sir.

    @Renegade, ever look into the bush family's involvement in smuggling cocaine? Interesting stuff.. not to mention our troops patrol the poppy fields in Afghanistan. Now why would they be doing that? Hmmmm....
