Afghanistan Now Leads World in Hashish, As Well As Opium Production

April 5, 2010 (LPAC)—The Dope, Inc. apparatus which President Obama is treasonously protecting in Afghanistan, has converted that country into not only the world's leading producer of opium and heroin, but also the world's #1 hashish source.

That is the finding of the March 31 Afghanistan Cannabis Survey 2009, issued by the Vienna-based U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The UNODC has published annual reports on Afghan opium for years, but now it has issued its first-ever survey of Afghan cannabis and hashish, because they too have now exploded out of control.

Afghanistan produces an estimated 1,500 to 3,500 tons a year of hashish, the UNODC reports. "While other countries have even larger cannabis cultivation, the astonishing yield of the Afghan cannabis crop (145 kg/ha of hashish, the resin produced from cannabis, as compared to around 40 kg/ha in Morocco) makes Afghanistan the world's biggest producer," said UNODC's Executive Director, Antonio Maria Costa.

Cannabis is grown in the same areas as the opium, and it is also "taxed by those who control the territory, providing an additional source of revenue for insurgents," the UNODC reports. Two-thirds of opium farmers also grow cannabis, and the smuggling routes are also the same. In short, it's one big, London-run Dope, Inc. operation—with a protection racket run by the impeachment-bound Barack Obama.

Cannabis is actually more profitable, per hectare, than opium, because it requires so little labor. The cannabis area is about one-third the size of the planted opium area, and it is almost all irrigated.
