Russia raps UN for Afghan heroin trade |
2011-02-14 |
Russia's anti-drug tsar said on Monday a U.N. campaign to curb the illegal production of heroin in Afghanistan was useless and had no chance of succeeding. The world's largest per capita heroin consumer, Russia is struggling to contain a crippling heroin crisis. With up to 3 million addicts, it is now facing an HIV/AIDS epidemic that is spreading among drug users from dirty needles. Try contributing something other than AK-47s to the Taliban and you might be surprised at the results. |

#1 Russia's problem is less heroin, than the lack of a social environment desirable enough so that people don't want heroin. They don't even want to have children anymore, things suck so much. That should be their first clue. |
