Afghans 20-year heroin stockpile

Afghans 20-year heroin stockpile
March 30, 2008 - dailystar.co.uk

DRUG lords in Afghanistan are sitting on a massive stash of heroin that could keep Britain supplied for 20 years.

Gordon Brown’s Government is battling to fight the menace “at source” in the war-torn country and has launched a £90million-a-year anti-drugs campaign.

British troops are being encouraged to shut down the opium fields and are risking their lives to smash labs where the heroin is being produced.

But the fact is that even if they shut down Afghanistan’s “killing fields” tomorrow, the drug lords would still be able to sustain their evil trade for another two decades.

A senior counter-narcotics official admitted: “We are not really here to stop the flow of heroin into the UK.

“The most conservative estimate is that there is four years’ supply in the larder, while others say there is 20 years of heroin stockpiled. Even if we stopped it all here now it won’t affect anyone at home.”

The Taliban is thriving thanks to the drugs trade, taxing farmers 10% of their opium income.

But UK experts say US calls to crop-spray farmer’s fields would cause more harm than good. Instead they say farmers must be encouraged to grow other, less harmful, crops.

The counter-narcotics official added: “The purpose is not to stop opium turning to heroin and coming to the UK. It’s to attack the 40% higher price the farmer gets for opium versus other crops.”

<<The most conservative estimate is that there is four years’ supply in the larder, while others say there is 20 years of heroin stockpiled.>>

Just to be safe, I'd lean toward the 20 year estimate being the correct one.

<Even if we stopped it all here now it won’t affect anyone at home.>>

You won't, and can't stop it.

as if Afganistan is the only producer. Papaver Somniferum was created by god (if tehere is such a thing). Its been around for ever (just like these arguments,and my points of view).

It will NEVER go away, and no it cant be stopped.

They only grow because of the enormous profit margin.

If it was all legal, there wouldn't be that much a reason to grow more than any other crop.

there would still be more reason, cuz you can get high off it, and any plant you can get high off is still gonna cost more than tomatoes, whether its legal or not

There's just one small problem...


...and it's a big one!

Fuck you Gordon Broon. If you really cared about "stamping out this sinester menace" then you'd stop growing fucking heroin in my neighbours fields, you dour faced cunt.

Fuck you Gordon Broon

<=== FUCK YOU SMUG SCOTTISH BASTARD!

When he was chancellor he raised taxes on booze to near Scandinavian levels, except on whisky. No one voted him in, and I guess we'll have another two, to fifty years of him pottering around, blankly ignoring anything we the people ask him to do.
