Export of Mass Destruction: Afghan addicts drowning in drug flood

(You may find some images in this video disturbing) Afghanistan - the world's largest producer of heroin - does not only make other states suffer from its deadly export - the country itself is flooded with cheap drugs. With the tense situation and very vague prospects of a peaceful life even those who want to kick the mortal habit find themselves at a dead end.

N.A.T.O. is running the drugs you fools. One of their booming markets for heroin is Russia just F.Y.I. They're fucking over the Russians and the Afghanis while laughing all the way to the bank...Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

You can blame it on the Soviet propaganda or cencorship but I never heard of this being a big problem when we were in Afghan...

BTW, I know that generalization doesn't look good in the eyes of most of you, good people, but "Opium war" in China triggered by Brits deliberately drugging the population and American cover up and protection of these drug cartels makes you draw the parallel.

Is this the type of freedom and liberty "civilized nations" promote around the world?

@IgorRussland

ask urself also why we in UK grow opium in gloucestershire(cant even spell it!) when we could licence the afghan farmers and buy it for hospitals or addiction treatment and starve the drug barons?!

Its a duel market; did u know the rothschilds had a hand in the afghan war when taliban resisted oil and gas line, they r related to sasoon family by mariage-opium barons under queen victoria and we even invaded on planting season!

@TheARMAProductions Well first os all, thanks to your countrys foreign policy thats why my country mates life is so short, because you dont give a shiit about the poors, the only thing that your country is interrested in is money and power and have been that for many many years, so unhuman. I've have never denied reality, and i can see you dont do it either, that is a good thing. Live a long life is one hting and live a happy life is another thing.

@AllahConsciousness And the Taliban fucks the people in the west with their drugs, while killing your soldiers with your own money and laughing at you fools...Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Of course legalizing won't stop people from becoming addicted to it, but at least would cut off the flow of cash towards criminal cartels and would provide addicts with the possibility of leading a life as close to normal as possible in the given circumstances. Drugs would be available at cheap prices and pharmaceutical quality and addicts won't have to hustle their way through life and won't be at risk of injecting God-knows-what sh*t dealers are cutting their stuff with.

@termanology85 the problem with your premise is the fact that the HERB known as cannabis is not physically addictive, if you spend any time researching this you would know this, also it has many medical benefits and can help people get off hard drugs, it is a great alternative to heroin, also please consider that your idea of "drugs" may not actually be reality
