This is the truth.The war on drugs is a war on people. Did you know that in 2000, opium production had almost completely stopped in Afghanistan, thanks to the Taliban? That’s like 80% of the worlds supply of heroin. The global market value of heroine is like half a trillion. Where do people think intelligence agencies get all of their black money from? That’s the real reason that we went to Afghanistan.
