    Now here's and idea for change, do something different. As fas as politics go, the Libertarians have the best platform on this subject, decriminalize drug use and let doctors and pharmacist's do the regulating of narcotics . I assume these days, the obligatory adherence to the FDA would be mandatory, in some bureaucratic fashion, mores the pity. Let's all hope for change on the War on Drugs. Isn't working, never will.
    Too much profit in it especially when it's illegal.

      For those Americans who are ignorant, poppy (Hashish) has been main export item of Afghanistan for generations.

      Thanks for this article that describes the very complex core of our involvement in Afghanistan.

        Sounds like everything else the Bush administration has done. If there isn't a way to screw it up, they'll invent one.

          Drugs should be decriminalized and dispensed through pharmacies, however that would eliminate the need for massive government drug fighting task forces. Propeller has done me a favor, I can only stand to be here a few minutes, instead of a few hours before the change...
