Foreign Policy..

It's they hypocrisy of it, as well..
I've mentioned it here before, I'm sure, but I can't count all the times back in the 80s and 90s when the standard reply to my first beef, (back then) to how drug laws/policy were enforced and the only casualties in the "War on Drugs" was lives of kids who didn't need any more help in destroying their lives.. We came in and took them straight to the finish line and marked them for life as criminals..
Juvenile courts were useful to the degree that kids were asked to "grow up!" at some point during that time.. Society at large no longer expects that from anybody, parents included..

As for the coca leaves, Hawaii and Puerto Rico can grow em without our having to donate to the "Feed the Dictator" fund of Evo Morales..
I believe, though I'm not sure, that Vicodin and the like are synthetics.. Opioids..

Feed em? They have a wild hog problem over there!! They've got AKs!! Let em work it out themselves!! They're already out of teeth.. It's not like Scurvy is gonna make alot of difference.. Besides, Pakistan grows citrus.. Let em work it out between themselves.. They already have free trade on terrorists and drugs.. Food shouldn't be such a stretch..

My old high school is averaging about 2 to 3 heroin overdose deaths per year now... Probably more.

Weren't Russel Crowe and Denzel Washington in a movie together about heroin smuggling diuring the Vietnam War?

I thought pomegranates were grown in. A-stan

I also thought there were huge deposits of lithium under A-stan as well.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that China already bought the rights to mine the lithium there.
