Reports out of Afghanistan say the number of drug addicts has increased right along with the increased production of opium. The Afghan Counter Narcotics Ministry points out that the majority of people in Afghan prisons are there on drug charges. The Ministry also backs up past claims by Iran and Russia, that more and more Afghans are being pushed into drug trafficking into other countries: “Around 3 million people are involved in drug trafficking across the country…”-Abdul Khalil Bakhtyar, Counter Narcotics Ministry
Afghan officials point out that the provinces that have the biggest opium production are under direct U.S./NATO/ISAF control: “90% of opium have been producing at Helmand, Kandahar, Farah and Urzgan Provinces…”-Zabi Ullah, Counter Narcotics Ministry
An opium addict said it best, revealing the possible true motive for the drug explosion under the watch of the United States: “I am happy to die rather than to be alive.

Another report, from Reuters, backs up claims made by Iranian border police over the years; the U.S. drug meth (methamphetamine) is being made and trafficked through Afghanistan. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, meth use in Afghanistan tripled in 2012. Afghanistan is already a violent place, now imagine large numbers of Afghans addicted to a drug that turns people into paranoid homicidal maniacs: “If this country gets addicted to meth, there will be a big problem!”-Peter Bottomley, UNODC
Unnamed ignorant and pathological liars within the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (plenty of reports showing the DEA is actually a major drug dealer) told Reuters reporters that the meth was coming from Iran!
