Agreed, a huge portion of it is here in the US as well, It really pisses me off that in the years prior to 9/11/01 the DEA (I believe) subsidized poppy farmers to keep them from growing the plants. I'm sorry I would pocket the money, grow the plants and still make out several times better than if I grew silly things like food. A better use of taxpayer money would have been to subsidize famers in the US, help keep farms from going under, and warn afgani farmers that if we see poppies, they will be torched by aircraft. Give them a real reason not to grow poison other than "we'll give you money if you say you won't grow poppies."
