(Before It's News)

America’s war on drugs is failing in Afghanistan, with opium production at record levels, despite spending $7.5 billion to tackle the problem. Over 200 thousand hectares is used to grow opium, an increase of 36 percent, according to a US report.

The report, which was commissioned by SIGAR, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction makes grim reading, with opium poppy cultivation increasing by over a third, while the country now has about 1.3 million heroin users. This is a ten-fold increase compared to 2005, when around 130,000 people were using the drug.MOREHERE

  • another narcostate rising

    • They rub our noses in it every year on November 11th, the 11minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day we all put on the opium badge , that has the Satanic colors of Black and Red, and we unwittingly partake in their Global Satanic Death Ritual. Canada has the opium badge on their twenty dollar bills along with the Lizard Queen. The Opium from Afghanistan is the most profitable commodity on earth, and is controlled by the people at the very top. The only people with clearance to bring it out our their secret minions like the CIA.

  • WTF did they spend $7.5 Billion on? :eek:

    Miracle Grow and Round Up?
