Misc All that opium we burn in Afghanistan has no use huh? - Page 2

googlegoogle · 04:35 PM

Think of all that opium we burnt in Afghanistan. Could have been used for the Haitian disaster. Heard they have no drugs for people with broken bones there. These events happen all over the world. We think we can supply drugs but we can't when things like this happen. Shameful waste. :headshake edit. Glad Uk Blair's and Nato have some foresight. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.p...xt=va&aid=5684

God you are dumb. Opium is not morphine. Morphine is a compound in opium. That would be like saying cake is flour.

Really? You would just usurp land? How would that look to the local populace? Yep they come in and take over your poppy fields so that they can take the profit. Plus I doubt haiti is in dire need of opiates so much as it needs food, water, infrastructure and antibiotics.

A conservative stogie? Why yes, thank you. And I'll have a progressive cheroot, a liberal havana and while we're at it by God I believe I'll have a libertarian perfecto.

Don't need to refine it. Just smoke it. Seized opium that is burned is not helping anyone. you fail.

Have you ever used opium? Then please shutup. So having no pain medicine is better than using opium. Stop posting. 12% better than 0%. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium

'Bout time Afhanistan and Iraq saw what Japan and Germany did.

You know, I was watching the documentary Cocaine Cowboys last night about all the coke coming in Miami during the 70's and 80's, and I was wondering, What did the Feds do with all that blow they confiscated? Billions of kilos.

You don't think they turned around and sold it back on the streets do you?

If it wasn't illegal I'd give it a go.

Wouldn't try crack, crank, ice or heroin though.

The problem isn't a shortage of medicine, it's getting medicine into the country. There's tons of medical supplies that have been diverted to the Dominican Republic because the planes weren't allowed to land in Haiti.

Somewhere there is a village missing an idiot. You need to go back home.

Just curious goobergoober, did you bother to read the article you provided the link for?

3 things here...

1. Googlegoogle, please change your username. It makes me have a seizure every time I see it.

2. While I understand your point, by the time the opium plant matured to the point it could be harvested and refined, then combined with the other ingredients to produce morphine, all of the injuries would have been taken care of and treatment would no longer be necessary.

3. The reasons those fields are destroyed is to stop the flow of drug money that assist certain groups (taliban included) to produce more drugs and recruites to their organizations.
