Farming poppies for heroin in Afghanistan

[imsosilky]

Wait, is he really talking about wheat? 60-70 tons of wheat every year? Doesn't sound right.

[picaticatara]

heroin addicts should all get deported to afgahnistan or colombia

[jokeraces22]

break out out the guys with the sticks' just take a flame thrower'

[KingOsmaniac]

before the U.S. attacked Afghanistan in 2001, which has been so ruled by Hamas, the heroin was in this area only 1% as it did not agree to the religion itself.

After the U.S. attacked the alleged terrorists, well, himself can not attack so, increased cultivation of heroin up to 95%.

U.S. and NATO to promote the cultivation, it must be so paid bills

No power to drugs!

[UpInSmokeeee]

america will neva legalize drugs they rather put everyones hands behind they back and cage them, but its ok for cia to bring the drugs in and get fucking rich while the regular person gets caged for selling drugs haha, the gioverment wants all the money, fuck u dirrty ass goverment fix ur drug laws and get with the program, a bunch of dumb asses thats wat they are

[The3rdPlateau]

@UpInSmokeeee YOU ARE TOO RIGHT!

[squirttilithurts]

legalize drugs and there is no mafia...

[Kepper102]

the sad thing is the same thing thats happening here with the Poppy Farmers in the Coca Farmers in Peru is going to happen in America because the United states government is taking all the jobs away form people in the fermers in sooner or latter the same thing will happen in America if people dont pay attention .

[anutuk]

The reason the U.S. is in Afghanistan is heroin. People are going to do it, people are going to grow it, governments are going to be involved in production and manufacture whether it's legal or illegal. But, making it illegal increases the demand. Heroin should be legal to protect people from faulty power structures.

[ontariobuds]

@anutuk but you could make heroin right in America, you don't need to go to war, opium poppies don't just grow in Afghanistan. they grow very well in Canada and America, many other palces also.

It doesn't make sense to go to war for heroin, oil seems more likely. They just found over 1 billion barrels of oil so that seems like a good incentive.

[anutuk]

@ontariobuds I think America is in the middle east because of oil for sure. I also know a little about how much money is in drugs. America is all about money, if you noticed. I think it's much easier to grow heroin in Afghanistan than in America. It's a business thing. Secure the product at the cheapest price available and increase the price of it. It's also a world power thing. I'm very sorry to all the world and its people that my government is causing so much harm all over the place.

[ontariobuds]

@anutuk hmm. You bring up some interesting points. Why do you think it is easier to grow heroin there? Also, the US of A doesn't plan to go in and just take over...i think.

But wouldn't securing the product be cheaper if they just did at home on their soil? How much money are they spending as we speak? billions! Lets keep this Q&A going! I welcome your opinion.

Cheers from Canada!

[anutuk]

@ontariobuds Honestly, I don't know a lot of facts, but some common sense. If the government is going to criminalize drugs in America to increase demand, the government isn't going to grow heroin in America. America already has a lot of power and influence in the world. I've heard that the U.S. military is in many places that the American people don't know about. Wikipedia says it's in 150 countries in the world. -What are they doing there?

[upunkpunk]

@ontariobuds Making it illegal creates more demand and more demand means larger money income.

Same in south america which is where cocaine is made. Just like Afghanistan South Americans also have to grow drugs in order to survive. /watch?v=U_bZZt1zs60-listen to the mans story. He explaines why he makes the shit.

[ontariobuds]

@upunkpunk I never said make it legal. You could still have a highly illegal crop right here in the western world.

[upunkpunk]

@ontariobuds The DEA wouldnt be so happy about a large poppy crop planted out side someones house.

[micknm]

the taliban is not growing poppy fields its the the US who is growing the poppy fields

and another thing is that it is the taliban who is burning the fields got that

and who owns those fields its the international banksters like rothchilde and the queen of england who own those field

[NaturalBornHedonist]

Screw the US government for destroying Afghan Farmers lives!!! They only have a problem with the poppeyes because they ( USA) have no control over the market unlike their billion dollar prescription drug market, that harms human bodies more than heroin wille ever do !!! LEGALIZE HEROIN WORLD-WIDE !!!

[Releasethehoundz]

As long as you give Heroin to your mom and dad first. Oh jeez there's a thought

[The3rdPlateau]

@NaturalBornHedonist i heart you

[VeraRabbit]

@NaturalBornHedonist

What? The taliban destroyed 96% of Afghanistan's poppy fields in 2000-2001. That is the main reason they had to be attacked. Heroin trade has always been under US control. Much many more billions in heroin than prescription drugs, dude.

[ethanmnagy]

@NaturalBornHedonist

you're a dumbass. legalize heroin??? probably the worst idea i've ever heard.

[maptlbh]

@ethanmnagy Acutally....they're right. Prohibition makes an underground market filled with dollors and blood. Regulating it takes it out of the hands of street dealers and promotes more healthy products. Ask any kid in america what's easier to buy: weed/meth/coke/H or Alchaol and they will tell you...alchol is harder to buy...and that's only because it's legal. If the make alchol illegal again, kids will get easy access to it. Those are just the facts

[Chartier111290]

@NaturalBornHedonist LEGAALIZE HEROIN ? ARE YOU FUCKIN NUTS? have you ever seen what heroin does to 1 person. have you met someone who is on heroin 3 times a day? If so. HOW THE FUCK CAN U ASK TO LEGALIZE IT? Think about your children, your futur generation. Its the hardest drug to stop. And it does so much damage. I can understand you might want to legalize marijuana... BUT HEROIN? If canada ever legalize's heroin. Ill kill the bastard who made tht decision rofl (sarcasm)

[1robyn5]

@NaturalBornHedonist Heroin is illegal for a reason. It's not only the drug itself that does harm to the people who take it, it's the adulterants used also. You know, it's not unheard of that people have seizures and die because of this substance. THAT is why it is illegal. Of course, there are always idiots who will STILL take it regardless of its legal status. Let's just say this, would you enjoy injecting brick dust, chalk, talcum powder or cleaning powder straight into your veins/muscles?!?!

[NaturalBornHedonist]

@1robyn5 You make a very good point for legalizing heroin . I hope you realise that: If Heroin was legal ... the drug would be controlled by the government and taxed. So the purity would go up to 100% ( no adulterons and NO unwanted "sideeffects" by harmfull substrances, that are present in street-drugs.

[HarrysSecret]

@1robyn5 Heroin is low on the risk list, esp when compared to alcohol. The adulterants you mention can cause lasting damage, but are unlikely to cause many deaths overall.

The biggest danger to the user is how strong the cut is, as it can cause sudden death.

Legalizing/decriminalising H would give greater control over the problem, this is something which is out of control at present.

Having said that, a large amount of research should be done before changing any drug laws

[researchsight]

The government needs to help afghan farmers access markets where they can easily and safely sell legal crops to locals and others. Most poppy growers make virtually nothing and live in constant risk, fear and anxiety. Traffickers exploit them as they-- as well as addicts and their families—suffer. Its a cycle of exploitation and violence that needs to be stopped.

[ennou81]

god made this to help poeple with huge pain

same like atomic energy can use so we dont fuck up the world

but what do humans make bombs that can destroy the world

fuck usa and russia

cuase of them now other countrys want it to

[superdynamite]

I'm very happy to hear that God has the same laws as the USA. Illegal on earth as it is in heaven.
