News Analysis: Afghanistan’s 209,000 Hectares (516,000 Acres) Of Poppies Are Well Protected By America; This to benefit the various International Entities Prospering From Thriving Heroin Sales, many people say. The alleged 40 FOLD GROWTH in Poppy Production since 2001 can be ascribed to vested interests of Pertinent Parties on the Supply Side of the Ledger: Agronomists, Bankers, Brokers, Fertilizer Suppliers, Growers, Processors, Distributors, Law Enforcement, Politicians, and many others, one may assume. On the Demand Side are the Users (B.O.) “Before Overdosing”.
It is extremely interesting that the U.S. White House “Says Almost Nothing and Does Almost Nothing to Eradicate the Poppy Fields”; the current 516,000 Acres Cultivated remove any credibility to any protestations regarding the aforementioned comment.
Washington, D.C. has NO credibility in the World as to Heroin Elimination. Is there anyone on Earth to think that the very capable U.S. National Security Agency, which monitors the Entire World’s Electronic Communications, cannot determine who is involved on the ‘Supply Side of the Ledger’, regarding Heroin?
The present size of the Heroin Problem World-Wide might require an brief look at the Demand Side of the Ledger. Knowing or suspecting how bad Heroin is for one’s body, why use it? A likely answer is: Precursor Drugs such as Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), Marijuana, Methamphetamines, ‘Pain Pills’, and the like. Pharmacologists think that the aforementioned have increased in toxicity (with the exception of ‘LSD’ which has been “lightened” for greater acceptance by Users). Perhaps the Molecular Acceptance of these drugs by the Human Body, allow them to remain in certain locales; thereby creating a constant craving. Once located in the Human Body, the best “Friend” of the User is his Supplier; the best “Pacifier” of the User is his “Junk”. Beyond Pathetic.
Reality.
