Drug use by Marines, Taliban and Afghan police/army during the Helmand province campaign needs its own study and book.

  Why that province specifically?

    Just an anecdote of mine. I'm sure there was plenty of drug use in other provinces but my personal experience was in the Helmand. I try not to talk about other places and units I don't have experience in.

      Was their a lot of drug use going on? Which drugs?
      • omio 7y ago
        Oh yea. Mostly weed and some opium. In my company over 50% of us smoked weed.

        Lots of Afghanis use opium. Not much else to do out there.
