Anyone that can't connect the dots is probably an idiot. Nothing like the U.S. of A involved in producing and trafficking drugs.
Expect a drug epidemic in America in less than 5 years. Expect it to be worse than it already is in China.

Food is one of those addicting substances. Yet, people often overlook the fact that many more die as a result of indulging.
Why isnt there the same approach to food that there is on drugs? You can stuff your face and become a blimp with all sorts of additional health problems (heart problems, lack of exercise) not to mention becoming an obstacle when walking around.
My point is some drugs are no unhealthier than food addiction. You wont see government regulating food consumption. Why? Its a business. People pay to eat. They love how it makes them feel. Americans love their fast food places. Its unhealthy but were free to be unhealthy, arent we?
Poppy/heroin same deal. People consume it. In Aghanistans case, it helps their economy. If you are careful with it, you'll be fine.
The point is further driven with the FDA. Americans are spared from the ill effects of inferior food production. Huge fines, possible jail fines - for producers who knowingly ship bad food.
The same approach to drugs.
If you want to be an overeater/excessive drug user, you will pay the price.
That simple. I'm tired of compromising my freedom to ingest substances simply because there is no regulation for it, or because some people choose to be irresponsible.
I'm sure the people in Afghanistan are mature enough to realize the ramifications of overindulgence. Its too bad many thousands of Americans will die from pigging out and its ill health effects from obesity.
