Legalize all drugs and all the problems will be gone. Think about it... instead of believing the propaganda fed to you by the media. The illegality of drugs just puts them on the black market and puts the people in jail. The solution is staring everybody in the face, yet the people are afraid of change and their heads are filled with ideas and opinions not their own, so life on the slave planet called the earth continues. Can we evolve?

Opium is another weapon the west is benefiting against Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. That is what we learn from the UK to control the world to be codependent and be busy with, so the can still their wealth.

Taliban were solely responsible for the reduction of opium farms at the height of their power. You farmed opium, they killed you.

The world powers had to invade under some premise to preserve the illegal opium trade before it became extinct. This report is lies. Numbers dont lie. Look at the opium production before the US invaded Afghanistan, it almost became extinct, and you will see the truth. Taliban were demonized and cannot defend themselves in the media.
