    Default Re: Opium Economy

    Opium growing won't go away, and neither will its use. The war on drugs was almost as fruitless as waging a war on a certain type of fighting has been. They went about it all wrong anyway. You have to stop the demand if you want to stop the production, not the other way around.
    You have to do both. You must go after the supply so the drug is not so readily available. More of the drug means easier to get, easier to try, easier for more to get hooked on it. If you dont also provide programs that will help stop the demand, then just cuting the supply wont work either. Without both parts working together both will fail.
    And I sure hope you arnt refering to terrorism as a "certain type of fighting". Blowing yourself/yourcar up is not a type of fighting, its called murder, or in this case Terrorism.

    Wine is a bit different, as I am sure even kids will like it.
