Canabis down, Opium up

With the smoking ban, Canabis consumation is decreasing, cheap Heroin from Afghanistan is flooding Britain. The soldiers are among the most exposed, followed by the everyday people in Britain.

Afghanistan a military success ?

If we see, that the military protect the war lords business, the Opium, a terrible result. Over years the CIA was arranging deals opium against weapons. Now the civil society of Europe gets a victim of the massive Opium invasion. Europe should retreat out of this tribal areas and destroy the heroin fields.

Farmers don't want to switch to nontoxic products

So why to continue protecting people that make us sick ?

The heroin warning follows two record opium harvests in Afghanistan of 8,200 tonnes in 2007 and 7,700 tonnes this year. These harvests represent 90% of the world's illicit opium production, with Helmand province, the centre of British military operations, accounting for more than half of the poppies grown. The agency says "alternative development" measures to persuade farmers to switch to other crops are having a very limited impact.
