The situation on the wrong side of the Urals is scary. Many young Russians who can't get a job end up taking H. I know this might sound racist, but a lot of local distribution networks are controlled by gypsy families.

Btw, is it true that heroin is a posh drug and cocaine is a cheap drug in the US? Here it's the other way around.

I still can't imagine someone shooting himself with some heroin and looking cool.
Oh, no, wait, I can. Vincent Vega.

And it made it harder to get needed Pseudoephedrine http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif I actually nearly ran into that law the other day, wanted to buy two different PSE drugs (one for my GF who needs the mucous-drainage type and one for myself, as I need Claritin+PSE for my allergies) and the two combined hit just exactly 3mg PSE (the maximum under IL state law per month).

Heroin is a cheap drug in the US.

In the US, for people who choose speed, coke is for the rich, crack and esp meth is for the poor. Meth does make people nuts, and the poorest and least educated like to smoke it, which makes it much worse.

In America, the former head of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, wanted high unemployment, to keep lab or costs down. Many people who dropped out because they didn't see anything worthwhile have gone nuts on dope. It's an ugly legacy of greed and divisiveness.

It's good to see 'Poly dispelling all those nasty stereotypes about all Russians being drunks. Now we know that many abuse heroin instead.

We don't generally torch farmers. It's absurd to ask them to stop growing it, unless someone comes up with a suitable substitute to take it's place.

Is it illegal to grow it there? If it's illegal to grow it there, that's different.

Because then the terrorists would win. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif

The military should form a company, the American East India Company, and just seize the opium and sell it to Chinese and Indians. That would help pay for the war.

I think the illegal production of opitates is at least twice the legitimate one.

I buy opium for recreational purposes occasionally. It's very relaxing, even more than pot and I never get paranoid on it.
