No use in banning drugs

Stop hipocresy!

Till we have the proper education to our kids we wont solve the issue of drugs.Conquer countries and erradicate the plants is not he solution.

Legalize ganjah!

So many are in on it

Yes, the military is protecting the opium and transporting it all too often. Several troops have become addicted to heroin as well. The poppy business generates over 4 billion dollars a year. Bush, troops, and the CIA all play a role.

Enemies of Humanity

.....record harvests...with the presence of U. S. troops. Are they helping with harvest/transport? Who's getting a cut?

We know it's going through the Balkans on the way to Europe.
