RE: The War On Drugs Is A War On Us!
Why @chron if you keep going down this rabbit-hole, you might start to think the whole drug war was a pretext to take away our freedoms as well! As if our leaders were under some form of Reefer Madness or something! :)
When Mullah Omar prohibited the cultivation of opium poppies in Afghanistan in July, 2000 (for shipment to the west...) I knew he was done. His ban actually worked, as western reporters saw for themselves in Spring 2001.
Next thing you know...
I very much enjoyed that film, very funny one when looking back!
That was another point I wanted to write about but never got around to, before the cultivation of the fields of poppy was protected by western soldiers in Afghanistan, there was no heroin problem in the US!
Interesting read there! Thanks for sharing 😀
