"Of particular worry is the Taliban's involvement in the drug trade. Drug profits now support elements of the Taliban and fund attacks on U.S. and NATO forces. While counter-narcotics efforts intensified last year, results to date are insufficient. More must be done."

The talibans train of thought is they are death on their own using drugs, hash etc because it's against the koran, however it's okay to grow and sell poppies/extract because opium is used by infidels.:hmm:
