Narcotic Nation: Kids get drugs to survive starvation

[rarebit1980]

i didnt realise this was goin on

[LifeRuinerHxC]

2:35 holy shit look at that unibrow!

[hamid954]

I'm not praising the Taliban but they actually prevented all this drugs by banning it.

[ajmaljaoshan]

theis kohdawand naa basha ismaglarrrrr just for few dollorsssss killing poor peoplee

[542513]

Wtf is wrong with afghan females???!!!! Watching this juz makes me can't stand them even more!! Society tries to have sympathy for these people and then u come across something like this..... Juz becoz their childhood was fucked they go & fuck up their children's childhood also.... Fucken dirty bitches....FUCK U!!!

[MrIliff]

Send me your address and I will Post you some food?, infact I would swap some beans for some of your smack?

[MrIliff]

Shame about the children. But funny that all the adults are hooked on the shit they grow and flood the west with. I wonder how much Heroin costs them to buy, compared to we would pay in UK?

[MrIliff]

2:35 check out the baby with the Mahooosive EYEBROWS, LOL, hahahahaha

[benvanbad]

@MrIliff LOL

[Stonepuppet2]

Taliban were the #1 contact for opiates. Those guys would be junkies regardless of whether there was war or no war, theyre oblivious to it all and will always be stoned out in their opium dens, wasting their money and not feeding their children like any junkies anywhere. Taliban used to put out press releases showing how they were destroying bales of poppies, it was all propaganda to throw people off. Opium dens are alot older than America and America is not to blame for it.

[123rezo321]

stop prduction of heroin and continue the hashihs /marijuana

[bluespartaninc]

You can't be addicted to marijuana fucking propaganda.

[knevares]

LOL DONT WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN AMERICA??? THIS ALL SOUNDS FAMILIAR! just a different country

[shodanxx]

oh Russia Today, I thought you were different

addicted to cannabis are you kidding me ?

these people's misery are not from drugs, they take drug because of their misery

[kalu19991]

why does RT has comercials on all of theirs videos?

Fuck that i watch youtube news because there is no comercals!

[telorinodelhoyoo]

00:44 lol

[FlatulenceFox]

I love the implications of this story that so many people are missing here because they have a bone up there collective asses about CIA conspiracies.

It is obvious form this story that the Russian govt also buys into the failed policy of the "war on drugs." That war is every bit as corrupt as the drug trade itself. & it is a policy that is lucrative for the govt and its cronies because it is a perpetual war where money is made and spent at the expense of actually addressing underlying problems.

[tpvalley]

@FlatulenceFox

well said.

[deejaysense1]

the worlds biggest supply of legal opium is in Tasmanina... That's where the phara company's get the stuff from bro. True as.. You go there and the fields are fenced off with warning signs.. 

[builttospill420]

I like how they say hashish and not marijuana. Most people dont know what hashish is and think its like heroin. good technique but you cant even smoke hashish in a joint

[brukernavn142]

@builttospill420 yes u can, but u have to combine it with tobacco

[builttospill420]

@brukernavn142 Yes but its a waist both because of the nasty tobacco and because so much will burn off or fall off because the papers will burn faster.

[shodanxx]

@builttospill420

if they can't get their terminology right that's pretty embarrassing

if they get it wrong on purpose then it is manipulation and shame on this reporter, usually RT is a pretty good look at "the western world through the looking glass" but not today

[Peter421]

2:35 thats one well developed afghan baby.... already has the full uni brow going on HAHAHA

[Peter421]

0:51 that girl was so high right then

[14BeProud]

"They are addicted to Marijuana, Herion, and Opium"

That's a nice way to make one safe substance and two opiates to sound like 3 different dangerous substances.

[Kevinh1998]

Why the fuck can't they grow food instead of poppy?

[topdinero]

@Kevinh1998 money money...

[sadskatecrew]

@Kevinh1998 people would steal it

[badpanda84]

@Kevinh1998 Because food dosent make as money -- and the tailban needs money to fund there activities

[cantroos]

hahaha my mom tried to sell me! 

[lazaro138]

who gets addicted to marijuana lol? thats just a disgrace to mary janes

[XpresloX]

Unicef should going to help those children, but U.S objected Unicef reporting their situation caused by the war.

[RoniCMaster]

Seems like the freest place in the world to me, gahahaha.

[abeldork]

2:35 rofl

[leolocost]

no wonder the country are so mess up! is just sad kids in it too!!

[alexsell187]

Does heroin give you a monobrow?

[TheSpliffKing]

hash & marijuana is the same, its called cannabis. You can't get addicted of cannabis, only physically! abusing marijuana is the same as abusing cheeze burgers! Marijuana is far less toxic and less addictive than alcohol. its fysically impossible to overdose on marijuana. Alcohol use contributes to the likelihood of domestic violence and sexual assault and marijuana use does not. Legalize it! people need it! not morphine as medicine! its bad for us all!

[therrydicule]

@TheSpliffKing ... Well, I think that cheeze burgers could be more addictive than marijuana - depend who is cooking...

[Loginkin1984]

@TheSpliffKing I think in the same way, I live in Rosii and pains have seen enough how many brings heroin, and it is even more alcohol!!!

cannabis the most safe for a society

[GetMurked88]

this is sick

[CyrillKR]

if you are addicted to weed

then don't drink anything with caffeine cause an even worse addiction will occur

and don't think about alcohol even not beer lol

pathetic little people

[miloman]

25 years old and six kids damn addicted to smack too she needs to die and have her kids raised right to break the cycle of shit

[CokeSupply]

I like how the news story starts off with heroin to invoke our emotions and them immediately switches to hashish to make that look just as bad.

"Addicted to marijuana?" Give me a fucking break. I started smoking hash and weed when I was 14 and was never addicted. I still smoke it today but I never crave it or get withdrawal symptoms.

As for blowing heroin smoke in her children's faces... hmmm no wonder she wears that head veil. I wouldn't want to be recognised if I did that to my kids either

[sshapewa]

USA is really a land of fucktards. damn, destroy the fucking poppies and gibe them mango seeds.

[MrSuperJuden]

Those women putting their needs above their children s must be the famous nurturing instinct I've heard so much about.

Men are better than women.

[domstott86]

just pointing out that cannabis has never killed anyone and isn't even addictive.

[CokeSupply]

@domstott86

There is a psychological addiction that can be brought about by smoking ridiculous amounts of the stuff all the time - keep it for the weekends and you will never get addicted - that's what I do - speaking of which - its friday :D wooot lol

[Anamnesicus]

really sad to see those people with there children livin in such conditions. the children will grown up and get children themself and live under the same condition if they aint dead yet.

[1106AP]

Drug is just another weapon of mass distruction used by those fucking americans. USA is the cancer of the world.

[AllSeeingAss1]

No only USA,

but ILLUMINATI=MASONS !!!

[appolo94]

yep! its true!

[anilraj420]

@1106AP fuck u go to china and be a slave

[C0smicCha0s]

@anilraj420 hahaha were all slaves maybe you just havnt come to terms with this fact yet or just chose denial instead

[anilraj420]

@C0smicCha0s i dont know bout u but im no slave

[TheAy28]

@1106AP are you kidding dude im canadian and thats just a sterio type to say they are cancer and drugs a=can be good or bad you stupid muther fucker

[sourmanofcoal]

@1106AP Nobody makes you use drugs. Nobody makes you suck dick. If you do it, its your own fault.

[Artfulskribbler]

@sourmanofcoal an ignorant comment

[Eye0fTheStorm]

When that taliban defeated the northern alliance warlords, they went to the poppy farmers, put a gun in their face and told them they have two options

1) We kill you and burn all your poppy fields

or

2) You stop growing poppy and use your farms to grow useful crops

Reports from the international narcotics control board show that during taleban rule, opium export was virtually zero coming out of afghanistan. Now after invasion and US support for nothern alliance, Afghanistan is the #1 producer

[ThoughtCriminal912]

Thank You CIA and the US regime. Who is so stupid to believe that the US regime cannot stop the opium growing in Afghanistan when it has total control of it. Instead the opium harvests has grown immensely.

[venom0005]

IF THEY ARE so broke they why did they have so many kids????????

[stereoscopicify]

this is all the us and uk government. we westerners don't want this. they dont show it on the news.we are manipulated so much.

[XeonProductions]

I fail to see how marijuana is addictive. Heroin and opium, yes they are definitely addictive.

[Angelparisjordan]

@XeonProductions thats what they are talking about dooo!!!

[lastpoet1]

to win afgan means the CIA would be able to sell it straight to the hood and make more money then ever for there wars and all things they do and yes its been out in the open since the 90s they were the biggest pushers and would still be cause its such big bussness

[klard]

People may enjoy using marijuana or hashish and do it a lot but they are not addicted to it. Addiction is an overused word.

[CSHOOLIGAN]

This proves that what the Soviet Union was trying to accomplish there would have worked good for the people. I dont know what social situation is in Afghanistan, but if everyone was guaranteed a job and the essentials for to live this type of situation would be much less likely to happen.

[CSHOOLIGAN]

If the primative taliban was able to destroy the poppy plantations than with all of the abilities the US military has it should not be a problem.

[revolutionnot]

Drug abuse is a social problem not a criminal problem. This woman should not be locked in jail. She needs help. She is asking for help, for her and her children. As a thought experiment... Imagine if we spent $1 trillion dollars on humanitarian goals instead of war for just one year?

[justaoldslave]

This looks like the U.S.A.s inner cities. One of the U.S. government's best tools to enslave thier people. Drugs and alcohol.

[c141bstarlifter]

there where no drugs grown in Afghanistan under the taliban, it took the US invasion to make that happen

[plking1]

The british monarchy is a waste of life.

[MrLukasart]

2:36  Unibrow?

[odzadze123]

Hahaha Taliban moslims and Drug production??????

If i remember correctly,Those Taliban are almost stoped production of Opium,before U.S. & NATO invasion.And Today after all this years,production rate is growth

to 30% of worlds needs in the 2001 to 120% of world needs Today???

So this is smelly as CIA masked operation!!!

[Dyhalto10]

Afghans used to grow all kinds of crops until war broke out and their fields were burnt.

Because Opium is quick to grow and profitable to sell, farmers turned to it as a means of survival. This is the end result.

Well done, NATO.

[abdulbade]

wow thnks america, you know at least during the taliban, they fought against drugs

[majikninja07]

Such great religious dominated dictatorships

[Martial024]

Damn, I love me some Heroin. But spending all your money on it and selling your kids isn't cool.

End the war, make it cheap and it will be possible to have proper education. Its not as simple as saying no, people have used drugs throughout history.

[wrxbungle]

hashish is a cultural norm in afghanistan, get over it.

end the war on drugs.

[Submissioned]

0:32

The bitch in the background sound like she's never been on earth before. Oh my god, she's realy smoking!

oh my gooood. how rude and what a wrong behavior. Look at us americans! We let our children sit 10 hours a day in front of the tv, thats way better.

Bitch, maybe you stop attacking the muslim world and doing false flags in the name of allah, maybe then you can say that again from your high horse.

[sniper6081]

Something else you'll never see on US television.

[cdin1]

The mother tries to sell her beautiful little child for a brief bit of drugs. To forget that she is that miserable, that desperate. This is INCOMPREHENISBLY bad.

But we DO have to drive our SUVs...

That IS the reason we're warring in Afghanistan? It's a little unclear.

[mikwid]

War is hell. Look what they've done to us humans with their wars for money and power! My heart is full.

[xandras1111]

America oversees the drug trade

[napajedlacek]

Jews will destroy you !!

if is not pornography ,its drugs ..

[Communistsynthist]

Why do they buy drugs instead of food? Wouldnt just a little bit of food be better than a moderate supply of drugs? I dont know understand...

[connectingdots1]

I see the Google ads sponsors trying to prey on the situation.

It's really too bad that most of our global non-profit Aid is mostly corrupt.And if Americans and Canadians were aware that our troops are over there protecting Poppy fiels all while destroying Marijuana plants,I think they would be a tad pissed to say the least.

I think it's safe to say that we've been lied to on all counts.Including what we're fighting for ?

We go to work everyday and have lost touch with Human casualties of war!

[Mauhadeeb28]

Why are we blaming the plant and not the person who uses it? The plant can't force you to smoke it.

[jreed136]

Probably just addicted to Opium, marijuana is only "addictive" in your head.

[gerryboy3699]

hard drugs makes your baby have a bushy broos?

[LeoBuddah]

WOMAN PLEASE GRAB UR CHILDREN's HANDS. DONT LET GO OF UR FAITH AND UR LOVE. RAISE THEM LIKE THE KINGS AND QUEENS HEY ARE! WORK THE STREETS DONT LET IT WORK U! while one is hypnosed by "drugs" every session u have every trip, whatever u do, and usally ddo while "hi" ur conciousness WILL get use to it, developing...habit/cycle/etc. - so,...JAH BLESS!!!!

[Denomolise]

I would shoot that donkey and eat it

[MDSingerling]

When the U.S first invaded Afghanistan the taliban burned ALL of the opium fields. The Americans then grew it all back. Yeah...they were there to catch a boogieman right? Couldn't have been they wanted the world's largest supply of heroin.

[dershope]

@MDSingerling AMEN! It appears I'm not the only "crazy" one. Peace.

[Bigbird5553]

@MDSingerling The U.S. grew it all back? lol NO the Afghans grew it all back so they could feed themselves. Opium will feed your family, corn and barley will barely get you to Spring for the next farming season. It's costs nothing to throw out accusations, but takes a bit more effort to actually apply logic to a given situation. Why don't you try it sometime?

[xxNutcasexx]

addicted to marijuana LOLOLOL what a joke... as always lump it in with heroin.

[Luigi84289]

@xxNutcasexx true you can't get addicted to marijuana. It doesn't chemically cause any sort of withdrawals like cigarettes.

[mikwid]

@Luigi84289 -T hinking that marijuana is addictive is a typical brainwashed mindset from people who listen to mass media and gov'ts. No one beomes physically addicted to pot. But it sure makes money for the gov'ts, doesn't it?

[ionacaddy]

To say that someone can be addicted to pot is just stupid. These people give opium to their kids for the same reason American mothers dose their children with over the counter DRUGS! OH but shame shame on these poor fucked up people, the pompous western world would never give their kids something that would harm them, RIGHT?

I think the west should FEED THESE PEOPLE, our wars have created this condition and it's up to us to fix it!

[myOATHmyCREED]

@xxNutcasexx exactly, God said man was free to use all the seeds, and animals. Weed is the mildest non dangerous drud i can think of. Better than ciggarettes, and booze. In fact if everyone in the world smoked some good cannabis, it would be a better place, with less violence!

[maidenkid84]

hey man i'm addicted to weed, it's not compareable to herion but still, i love burning, and it sucks, because everyone puts it down, but when im not high i can do things better...but it isn't as fun. damn i need a joint!!! :P and poor family, i feel bad for them

[BLUEGENE13]

@xxNutcasexx i'm addicted to weed man rly

[Bulldog22031]

@xxNutcasexx look, I have nothing against pot, but if you think you cannot get addicted to it, you are either an idiot, or are actually a pothead lready addicted to it.

[therrydicule]

@xxNutcasexx You are right and... Wrong.

Many heroin addict take some marijuana, but not so many marijuana smoker takes heroins. The reasons why is that marijuana is an exit drugs.

Of course, many media see that link upside down, seeing marijuana as a gate-away drug to heroin and coke... Which is the wrong flow of direction.

[Koppurointi]

I don't know if the youtube is sencoring me or if russia today just have this thing that they relese only the good comment's....everything is under control =)

4 comments before this

[Koppurointi]

just watch - American Drug War The Last White Hope

[Koppurointi]

First it was south america...now Afganistan

[steveo9001]

L O L 100 thousand deaths from heroin ?!?! yah worldwide maybe ... the usa has 17 thousand deaths per year from all illegal drugs do a google search... this is a bunch of propaganda BS ...

yes there are irresponsible people ... but why should the rest of us suffer with gangs that fight over who can supply drugs... terrorists are making money off illegal drugs... these laws are a bigger problem than the drugs themselves... its irresponsible and uneducated people that make the drugs bad

[jreed136]

Some drugs are bad. Opium is bad. Heroine is bad.

Marijuana has real medical benefits, and is not illegal for health reasons, which is why opium and heroine are illegal.

Marijuana is only addictive to a point, where you crave the feeling you get from it. But that's no more an addiction than watching TV or playing on the internet or say... Sky diving.

[WhitereddoG]

opium is good, it dose have real medical benifits, all the top pain relief drugs are made from it.

legalise it in our country, and get production out of the 3rd world....

[jreed136]

@WhitereddoG Eh... Opium is too addictive. Anything that has a physical addiction is bad for you.

Marijuana should def be legalized though. It's pretty much harmless, with problems only created for propagandist purposes.

[steveo9001]

@jreed136  o i agree that they are bad but going by the stats the drug war itself kills more people that crack cocaine heroin combined.

[dershope]

C'mon RT.  Addicted to pot?

[eyeswideshuttt]

@dershope The message is clear. The people of Afghanistan have nothing other than drugs for sustenance. People who smoke Pot are addicted; that's why they are called Pot Heads.

[Koppurointi]

Haha... And Afganistan is just another white hope for Americas top leaders...Just like cocaine was in the late 70's and 80's...then there was Crack mid 90's and now heroin...New white hope for the elite

[CMLovejoy]

That was probably one of the saddest story's I've ever seen.

[MsAlleykat27]

Stop doing that to your kids!!!!!! they deserve better than that!!!!!!!

[Koppurointi]

Hashis aint heroin... But it is harmful for kids if they take it before puberty..Then it will lose they memory and other differend stuff.

[ZedAlfa273]

The NATO Council meeting in Brussels to discuss how to stop narcotics production in Afghanistan is just for show.

All opium production in Afghanistan comes under the sole purview of the CIA

[KingKong1ooo]

america is to blame for the increase of drugs production in afghanistan.

they wants this it is easier to control someone when they are on opium because thats all they think about- as long as this they are happy

usa did this dilibratly to the outcome of increase in poppy production

[Denomolise]

@KingKong1ooo fight smarter not harder

[IlluminatiSeer]

and marijuana is not addictive.

[IlluminatiSeer]

THE US IS growing it and importing it... if you want it to stop then you need to know who is doing it. 90% increase in production since the us has been there !

[remanuelli]

THIS IS THE DEVIL....IN DRUG FORM

[ForTehNguyen]

you burn these opium farms in Afghanistan you are sure to create a new insurgent because you just destroyed everything they owned. Not all poppy farmers are terrorists.

[RevolutionNewz]

heroin claims over 100,000 lives per year... in the world?

cigarettes kill more than 400k in the US alone...

alcohol kills about 150k per year in the states...

prescription drugs kill more than 100k per year... and the 100k patients took their meds as directed.

so why is heroin illegal?

why is marijuana illegal?

$ for the REAL drug dealers... the CIA.

[RedGunBullets]

if heroin was legal and so much smoken in the society like tabak it would kill some 20 times more of people

[AyatollahRosenberg]

Yes, since the American occupation of Afghanistan,the heroin production in that country has increased ten times. Most drugsare eported toRussia nd Europe.

[voicubogdan84]

I apologize for spiting the truth in your face like this but...

the REAL question is: Why are "corporate" abuses regarding prescription drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol allowed...

as long as suicides are not tolerated by a normal/modern society those things should be illegal also... and you can add cheese to that list if you are residing in the US... :)
