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. More
Another reason the CIA dosen’t want to have our troops removed, along with controlling all the heroin trade.
Who needs Afganeestan when we have Oreeegon?
They DID legalize heroin, Oregon that is, so it will be a newly introduced crop, like cannabis was fifty years ago…
What a future.

Open all drug use up Nation Wide. Kill off the weak. Let them commit suicide. I’m for it. I’m willing to bet 98% of Libtards have addictive personalities. And no brains. Do it.
I fought there and I can tell you that place should’ve been turned into a parking lot a long time ago.
But it’s no longer an addiction, it’s an illness, covered by affordable heath care. For all the money the pharmaceutical companies on oxy, they make more on the “treatment”. How much can free health care cost?
“But it’s no longer an addiction, it’s an illness…”
they’re already beyond that- it is now a choice
a bad choice, but now an allowable choice in some locations
Heaven help us
Sackler Pharma & Doctors prescribing Oxy like crazy in the 2000’s to get perks, vacations & kickbacks started a lot of decent people on a path towards Heroine. There is lots of blame to go around.
Firebomb the shit hole from 50,000 feet once a month. Hopefully Hunter will be checking his crops in the field when they burn.
Hunter Biden is pleased.
The same plant or a similar species grows wild all over west Texas and new mexico
Wow! Super clean, naturally grown meth. An achievement right up there with landing on the moon.
Was sorta’ hoping Afghanistan would invent something cooler to be honest. Not that vegan meth isn’t cool..just, you know, they already invented dope and heroin. This is the ‘rise of skywalker’ of Afghanistans tedious drug trilogy.
Can’t they make some rugs or felt hatz or something?
Better yet: let junkies in America just die off. The Taliban won’t have any customers left.
Btw: if you see General Mattis around, and find a dirty needle on the street near him, sneak up behind him and stick it in his back. Maybe he’ll die before he can be hired to try and turn the guns of US troops at us.
Yup, some people really wants us to stay in endless wars.
It’s time to call in a squadron of B-52’s loaded to the gills with napalm and Agent Orange and carpet bomb the shit out of all those drug fields. And then to add insult to injury drop bombs filled with nothing but salt mixed with Agent Orange or more napalm to kill all their fields and crops permanently. No more useless endless wars ever again which the democraps are good at starting and not ending when they are in power. They didn’t learn a damn thing from Korea or Vietnam did they.
Afghanistan had cornered the world’s market on heroin and hashish. It had been suppressed for the past two decades until we started the draw-down. Now they have a natural growing component of crystal meth?
Afghanistan is about to have a junkie and tweaker epidemic and the Talibs will have the funding for more of their crap.
“The same plant or a similar species grows wild all over west Texas and new mexico”
From what I understand it’s a similar species, but a variety that doesn’t contain the necessary ephedrine that gives it the stimulant effect of the one used in the east for their traditional herbal medicines.
I’m with you Brad, except maybe give them all the drugs they want, but they have to stay on a reservation with only one old dial up phone and only rice and beans with no way out unless they kick it.
I’ve had it with what the drug industry has done to people, and people that start using knowing how addictive it is and destructive, but just don’t care about anybody.
My sister-in-law’s is dead from drugs, my brother-in-law is dead from drugs and alcohol, my nephew is probably dead from drugs, his brain was fried from drugs, as in on the street, talking to himself fried. Lost his family and burned everyone that tried to help.
I train this kid from a teenager in my craft. Set him up in business. I haven’t seen him in years. I’m sad and mad about all of it.
