Productivity way up
BBC News has an article about Afghan opium production nodding off:
The area under cultivation for opium has dropped by 21%... But the actual output has not changed much and Afghanistan is still the largest producer of opium in the world, accounting for almost 90% of supplies.
Apparently "the international community has spent millions" on the war on drugs there since the war on Taleban in 2001. I wonder if the crime fighting international community has spent as much as the smack shooting international community tying off in dirty bathrooms for an Afghan fix.
