how sad people

have barely enough food to live yet they still go straight for drugs. another reason why Afghanistan will never be full rebuilt.

u could say its karma, but its not the producers that r being observed here.

Also we all know the risks so u cant balme anyone but urself, although I blame the cannabis laws to a degree, the law makers says it will ruin u, when we realise that is a lie we try other drugs believing the lie to apply, later we descover that they werent lying about heroin.

this filim is right...... The war should stop actually, Government should more consentrade about problem of society than war.......... and other muslim brothers should help them. why people do addict to drugs ? becasue they are deppressed and cant not understand the meaning of life.... war never helps those people actually... Afganistan's prblem seems not about Talibans but about it's modern society....

and did u know that the rothschild family needed the invasion for their oil and gas lines from caspien basin, the rothschilds r related by marriage to sasoon family, opium barons under queen victoria, they had monopoly right over all opium trade. the taliban almost wiped out all the opium, makes u think eh?

@eaMusIk2008

better hungry and high than full and rattling.

what else have they?

we should buy the opium to starve out the drug barons or even make the barons legal suppliers of pharmaceutical industry.

turkey licences its opium it costs them $6million a year to monitor etc; america has spent over $172 billion in afgansitan so far!

I was in kabul back in 2001-2002 i seen fields of poppy in bagram i kept asking why dont we destroy them. the officers just said its not our job.... Since when is protecting your brother a job? Pisses me off to no end. Punkass sorry excuse for a government. ive been to more countries than most people have states and no people i have met hold a place in my heart like the Afghan people. I never seen any needles on the river in Kabul. This video makes me cry. I love and miss you my brothers.
