Opium and heroin trafficking in Afghanistan is a considerable source of revenue for the Taliban, but they are not the only ones who profit from it. In the meantime, the United States have radically changed their strategy in the war on drugs

  • Just make drugs legal eventually the commodity would become worthless. The war on drugs just makes the commodity valuable.

    Oliver North - Guns for drugs ? The CIA brings the crap in by the plane load.

  • 3 billion in profit's, and the taliban get 3-4 million. follow the money! Our govt's have been B.S.ing us for a long time. The CIA has a good track record with drug smuggling and profiteering. Karzai and his family are up to there eyeball's in drug money.

  • @weedyak

    And cash flow for the central banking system - you stop protecting the opium the whole banking system would collapse.

    Cash Flow - NATO military making the ultimate sacrifice for cash flow

  • @boots920 its drugs 4 guns

  • The taliban are NOT funded by opium, they almost iradicated the poppy thats why we invaded (+ oil pipeline and $3trillion worth of mineral deposits including copper and uranium).

    Would america turn a blind eye to opium if it funded their enemy?

    would they sacrifice soldiers for the sake of keeping locals happy? NO.

  • @boots920

    exactly.

    This was descovered in holland when only cannabis was decriminalised, a 90% reduction in new hard drug addicts in 1st year and less % of people take drugs in holland compared to other places.

  • Fight the real criminals, not the farmers trying to feed their families!

  • afghanistan will get rich of business and this...

  • The ones really suffering in Afghan are the farmers.... often they use the Taliban to protect their cash crops.
