Cheaper to buy the Afghan Opium Crop?

[ShadowHM]

Or, a two pronged carrot/stick approach, build a farm price support system that pays a high price for alternative Afghan crops, and make it widely known that at any time opium poppies will be destroyed if discovered. I mean, that is why most farmers in the southern US do not grow marijuana.

:rolleyes:

Since we just *can't* contempllate legalizing any of it.... <_< (Yes, Occhi, I would still insist on regulating it. :P)

Maybe, just maybe, we could muster that much common sense as to try something (heck, anything!) other than the same old, same old? :unsure:
