RE: Afghan Heroin Output 4x Greater Despite U.S. Spending $1.5 Million/Day ($9.3 Billion Total) to 'Fight' It

in #war6 years ago

"This year, many Afghan poppy farmers are expecting a windfall as they get ready to harvest opium from a new variety of poppy seeds said to boost yield of the resin that produces heroin.

The plants grow bigger, faster, use less water than seeds they've used before, and give up to double the amount of opium, they say.

No one seems to know where the seeds originate from. (?) The farmers of Kandahar and Helmand provinces, where most of Afghanistan's poppies are grown, say they were hand-delivered for planting early this year by the same men who collect the opium after each harvest, and who also provide them with tools, fertilizer, farming advice - and the much needed cash advance." – 2015 CBS NEWS

Who are these men?
I have a good guess.

Sort:  

That's odd... GMO opium brought to you by the U.S. black ops scientists :P

LOL, well I meant hand delivered by the troops as the video demonstrates but probably created by people like Monsanto (maybe) because they know how to create terminator seeds? Terminator seeds will keep the farmers under their thumb. That way they'd be reliant upon the seeds every year or so in order to maintain the output and luxurious lifestyle of whatever pittance they're being remunerated with.
