Iran has the world's highest rate of heroin addicts

[sciencepowerdavid]

haha best commercial ever!!!

I love how informed this guy is. Crack is apparently now made from heroin and not cocaine. Good job buddy. Unless of course Iranian "Crack" is a different drug than every one else's "crack".

[Meursault40]

@nitsuj1980 I was thinking the same thing (regarding his reference to "crack" as a derivative of heroin (which is a derivative of opium). . . it completely undermined any credibility this piece might have had.

I completely understand the power of addictive drugs... but what bothers me is this statement, "Iranians, prohibited from consuming alcohol under islamic law, are turning to drugs"

... I mean, really? If someone told me hey... you can't throw back a few bud lights, is my response... ah fuck, I'll just shoot heroin instead? Those options seem worlds apart.

[boogiechillen123]

@DODPHOTOGRAPHY- Iran's distinction as the highest rate of heroin use in the world is because heroin is made in Afghanistan, which happens to be right on Iran's border.

This is why I disagree with the notion that America is full of greedy drug users, since we happen to be in proximity to Mexico, a country that smuggles drugs like Afghanistan.

In Tehran there are 8,429,807 Humans, so if 31 are dying every single day it would still take 50000 days for them to all die which is 9615 years to wipe them all out.....or maybe not as i am fucking stoned out of my head at the moment and have just gotten completely lost with what i am rabbitting on about......time for a pizza delivery i think.

Legalize all drugs! stop criminalizing!

[daspense]

Legalize marijuana

[SweetJaneofGoth]

Like why not combine Heroin, crack, speed, and LSD in a single shot?

[lemob182]

how do you solve this problem?

easy, I actually just figured out the genius plan 2 seconds after watching the video:

1. You legalize alcohol.

2. You focus more on raising employment in the country.

[katrinahxc]

@lemob182 your the biggest moron, legalizing alcohol would be a genius plan? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[kushak47]

Iran like a bitch LOLS

[fatparrot66]

JUST SAY JIHAD

"...heroin and derivatives like crack...."???????!?!?!?

Since when was the product of South America's Andean Coca leaf (cocaine/crack) a derivative of a semi synthetic opioid made from the sap of the opium poppy?

Maybe Iran should take a long hard luck at the success rates of anti-drug hysteria and propoganda in the west before they jump head first into the same pool of ineffectual bullshit.

What's Farsi for "Just Say No"?

[persiandudeee]

Acually the highest use is in Afghanistan or Russia. Iran has alot, but 4 million is an exaggeration. Anyways, blame this shameless islamist leach regime.

[acr225]

@persiandudeee Take your bullshit and shove it up your ass. Iran is filled with drug addicts (4-5 million) and homosexuals. Go read the UN statistics mentioned by the Iranian narrator you idiot.

[wannabesedated00]

sad but not suprising

[Persian2010gulff]

ahmadi nejad said that: we dont have heroin addicts in Iran

we are not like america or uk.

we are Muslim and heroin is haraaaam

only agha (khamenie)uses heroin in Friday morning and goes to namaz jomeh (Friday,s pray)

[bagdadhanafia]

@Persian2010gulff

hahahahah good one!

But nevertheless, Iranians must understand that shia mullahs distorted the image of Islam. Go to malaysa, indonesia (BIGGEST muslim country on earth), even the gulf countries, most people are happy with their religion yet we cant blame the iranians too much I too would hate "islam" IF I was make to believe that heretical shiism is THE Islam (of course its not)

[fullmetaljaco]

@bagdadhanafia believing or not, a country ruled by religion is not a country of freedom. Freedom is not achieved when other people tell you how you must behave and live and put you in jail if you don't want to do as they want. i have been in Malaysia two years ago, and i really know how unhappy life could be there... it' s like being shackled like slaves, it s horrible.

[DokhtareLoos]

horrible! :(
