You guys always get it right. Opium from Afghanistan has been flooding the west coast in the last 7 years. Northern California and Southern Oregon have been hit hard. The only way that's possible is the US Army flying over the drugs in Afghanistan. I suspect the profits go to Black Operations inside the military.

Yeah, I'm not for the military occupation of Afgahnistan but if the poppies were regulated so the general population could turn a profit and possibly be less vexed about the past 7 years.

Your "expert" guest is just another illuminati asshole spouting his bullshit opinion.

I doubt he's seen any real combat because the look on his face screams pussy!

Peace is a plan.

Go, Danny Glover! Great to see the Real News is getting the attention of a lot of people.

Bottom line: all this guy is advocating is the (further) transformation of Afghanistan into a kind of American protectorate, which is a nice way of saying a more draconian American occupation, subsidized by American pharmaceutical companies. Sounds like Cheney's glib, "The oil well pay for it!" Sorry: The West will ALWAYS be the enemy in that part of the world.

LUV the Island..lived near Courtenay but "weed" is only classified a drug or 'controlled substance' because of a lack of understanding of the 'nature' of drugs. comparing a natural organic plant and a chemicalized and processed plant resin like opium to heroin is like the 'gateway theory'...thats like saying 'because i drank milk I'm bound to drink whiskey".. BUT I do believe that the hard drugs especially heroin are protected. Let us grown our own weed and STOP the junk!

I personally don't give a flying phart what you thought of my comment(s). You don't say WHICH ONE for a start! dirtyboy is a biggot. His "to the point" comments showed that clearly.

As for swaying left & right.. WTF do you mean? Not exactly 'to the point' are you? Any examples of 'left/right-ism'?

Anyway like I said I don't really give a damn whether you want to suck up to dirtyboy or not & thankfully (looking at the ratings of the comments, people like you & dirtyboy are in a minority). Adios

[n8iveidiot13]

i personally thought your comment was stupid compared to dirtyboy830... he went straight to the facts and you just swayed left and right and didnt quite tell where your facts were comming from
