GOVERNMENT IGNORES AFGHAN POPPY CROP

Where is the logic in the "war on drugs" tactic to pour billions of dollars 
down the drain to police marijuana smugglers and users while the federal 
government closes its eyes to the annual poppy crop being grown in 
Afghanistan? Has anyone ever been known to die from using marijuana?

Can the federal government say the same of heroin?
