Part of this:
" U.N. drug control officers said the Taliban religious militia has nearly wiped out opium production in Afghanistan -- once the world's largest producer -- since banning poppy cultivation last summer".

On a wider note, what is it with this shower? They downgrade cannabis, relax the drinking laws and let their gambling cronies open 'super casinos' even though the majority of research means that they will all cause more social problems. Definitely more than they solve.

Tell me when you find out
Oh and alcohol, well we know that does cause brain damage, just for starters. I'm sure you're as familiar with the cause of korsakoff's as you are with the brain damage caused by taking cannabis
