The U.S.-lead 'war on drugs' in Afghanistan has been ongoing since the fall of the Taliban in 2001. Despite millions of dollars being spent on destroying crops, Afghanistan remains the world leader in opium-poppy production. But as RT's Laura Emmett discovered, the crackdown is having an adverse effect, with countries like the UK now forced to grow their own poppies to plug a shortage in pharmaceuticals.

@Coleostro I'm no longer surprised by complete and utter morons as yourself that love to sound arrogantly condescending, primarily through insult, without really saying anything substantive. Since I am not an idiot, I must conclude that you are, or else you're simply using selective perception to view reality. Russia TV is a fucking joke!

RUSSIA TV is just a giant Propaganda machine that criticizes America and our allies. As for drugs, it's russian drug lords that put heroin on to the streets in Great Britain.
