God and Drugs in Northern Pakistan
Drug Growers: Poppy farmers in northern Pakistan arm themselves to fight the government For downloads and more information visit http://www.journeyman.tv/9666/short-films/drug-growers.html Growing hashish and opium is part of the culture of Pashtun tribes in northern Pakistan. Many depend on it for their livelihoods. Armed resistance is their only way to fight their governments 'Holy War' on drugs. With weapons like the AK47 freely available in Darra (the arms capital of North West Pakistan) neither side will back down. We visit the secretive tribally-controlled Khyber Agency bordering Afghanistan. Pakistan authorities don't dare close the multitude of heroin labs - they fear rebellion. Last time the government took on the Pushtun, ninety people were killed. Film of Pashtun poppy farmer Fez Mohammed, government anti-drug crusader Nawaz Malik, smoking in a hash den, the buying of weapons, tribal leaders, and James Magnor, the US narcotics attaché in Pakistan. Given viable alternative industries and jobs, the Pashtun people say they will abandon the poppy. Now, there is little hope of that with a government which now spends 80% of its budget on its military and the servicing of its national debt.

It is not responsibility of the US alone. Each and every country should proactively stand against drugs. We are losing our offspring. Our children are getting spoiled. It doesn't matter which religion you follow, because poison does not discriminates people by religion. Its a wake up call.

there are many times of recorded poppy destroying missions. it's always a little show..look what we would like to do, if we could, but this is the crop we live of and there is no other. they always destroy a quarter of a tiny field,more a garden, but there are many others right around the corner. it's a little show for the world and even outside pakistans and afghanistans, people know, it's just a show.

If these people didn't have so many children per couple, these problems wouldn't exist as they'd cope just fine growing and selling legal produce.

wish I could get 50g of hashish for $30

So I hope they know that Hashish is from a completely different plant- and they were just showing how cheap it is- 40 bucks for 50 grams-wow- the profit margin- No wonder the CIA has been trafficking drugs all these years to fund their black ops and to line their filthy pockets.
