Afghanistan, home to the heroin trade, moves into meth

· 15 Comments

BBC News: Heroin has long been a problem in Kabul but now many are turning to meth, a cheaper but equally dangerous drug. A new report released on Tuesday warns that Afghanistan is becoming a significant global producer of methamphetamine. The country’s opium poppy fields are already the source of the majority of the world’s heroin, and now this report, by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), warns that crystal meth could eventually become just as big an industry. The boom is the result of a discovery by drug traffickers that a plant commonly found growing wild in parts of Afghanistan, ephedra, can be used to create the key component of meth: ephedrine.

  1. International War Criminals
    and
    their associates are
    in
    full charge
    of
    productions and distributions
    of
    illegal drugs
    across their networks; all around the
    whole world.

  4. In fact;
    that
    is
    how they mostly finance
    their
    subversion acts
    on
    vulnerable and weaker
    countries, across the world.

  7. That
    is
    how they
    are
    numbing
    the
    whole country- through cheap
    donations
    and
    drug deals; barely enough
    to
    prevent
    severe cases
    of
    starvations; but, yet still managing
    to
    be controlled without any
    serious
    political, military
    and
    threatening implications !

  8. All *excuses; it
    was/is well-known
    that the profiteers from
    US and Europe, had been
    already
    synthesizing, developing and using
    the
    ingredients of that particular
    drug, ((meth)),
    in
    legal and illegal labs
    for
    the
    highly-marketable street
    of
    the
    Western World; ((check it all out !)).
    .
    Now; this
    goofy Indian writer
    is
    paid
    to,
    somehow, blame its origin
    in
    Afghanistan- *yes; you people are
    really
    sick and disgusting; all
    of
    *you !!!!!
    *

  9. *Dear
    Brothers and Sisters !
    ===============
    .
    That is how
    the
    enemies of the regular folks
    of
    Afghanistan,
    are
    brain-washing
    and turning
    global opinions.

  10. We
    ask the
    puppet government
    of
    Afghanistan
    to
    investigate and find out whether how the
    ingredients of this deadly drug are
    smuggled
    from
    the
    US, Europe and other destinations
    and
    distributed all across
    Afghanistan !!!!

  11. I am
    %100 sure
    that, if they care enough,
    they could easily catch and prosecute
    the real foreign culprits
    and
    their accomplices !
    *

  12. Why would they ?????
    ===
    ==
    =
    The
    international War (Criminals
    ((themselves))
    are
    ((directly and/or indirectly))
    implicated
    and
    are the real culprits as well !
