The Post-9/11 Afghan Heroin Explosion

The War on Drugs. The War on Terror. Narco-Terrorism. Prior to 9/11, the poppy production levels in Afghanistan were at a low and many of the Taliban were against heroin and the opium poppies. However, since U.S. forces entered after 9/11, the poppy crop has skyrocketed. The UN has reported that the six-year boom has lead to the Afghan crop being responsible for 92% of the world's heroin trade. With Homeland Security and the War on Terror, it's amazing that the drug still gets into the USA, one of it's strongest marketplaces.

they produced heroin for years and america needed it,they had bin ladens funding and they were against opium so they got rid of almost all of it,then the white house allowed 9/11 to go to afghanistan to make the pipeline,insure the heroin is produced and go to iraq for when they need future oil.

Thats partly why we invaded Afghanistan. Natural gas pipelines is another. It made sense to attack this poor country for profit. Horrible people are in power, and we vote these morons in office

ya something always seemed fishy, i know the taliban arent the most sane to begin with but i always had a hard time believing they were cool with selling opium even though they arent even allowed to eat pork.

Afghanistan was producing NO HEROIN under the TALIBAN but when the good ole USA are in charge-THEY ARE MASS PRODUCING THE HEROIN because the CIA & PENTAGON NEED THE MONEY TO INVADE OTHER COUNTRIES & GET OUR KIDS HOOKED ON IT. Fucking scumbags.AMERICAN GOVERNMENT SMUGGLES DRUGS DAILY FOR DECADES. The DEA is a bullshit FAKE COVER-UP which deals drugs itself.

There is NO WAR ON DRUGS.Legalize drugs & see how fast the USA GOES BANKRUPT. Col.Oliver North smuggled Cocaine in the 80's&VietNamwasheroin

The only hope you have is to take out the drug lords. The real drug lords. Wake up folks. These false hopes you put in elections is a fucking joke to say the least.
