Wars Suck, War Mongers Suck, and All Citizens are Being Treated Like Suckers !

"Suspected to be the largest opium bust in British Columbia’s history," authorities and investigators have recently been successful in keeping "almost 57 kilos of opium" of the streets of British Columbia and prospectively, Canada.
How the weighty tombstone made it through customs at an airport in Iran and onto a cargo plane ‘en route’ to Vancouver International Airport is still largely at question. What we are shown here is that sometimes the best place to hide something is right out in plain sight. Although maybe not in quite in plain sight, but at least these guys did try pretty hard to hide the massive amount of opium that was smuggled into the British Columbia airport.
After discovering in inside compartment of this tombstone the Canada Border Services Agency and RCMP let the package reach its destination, later obtaining search warrants and arresting four in the Vancouver area. What better story to hit the headlines right before the Olympics to polish up the old sparkle on British Columbia and its fight in the war on drugs...

It seems drug smuggling is world wide.

Drugs, prescribed or non prescribed, is not good for anyone. i hope all will agree.
In this part of the world, who cannot afford the drugs they go for prescribed one, such as cough syrups and all those stuffs.
So regularization of heroine is not the solution, but the upbringing and life style changes.
