DRUG WAR DISTORTIONS

Thank you for Gwynne Dyer's in telligent article on the drug war 
against Afghanistan's poppy farmers (NOW, September 28-October 4).

I have an even better idea how to deal with this problem. Let them 
grow and legally sell cannabis.

Afghanistan once produced some of the finest cannabis and hashish on 
the planet. Due to the economic distortions of the drug war, it is 
now more profitable for them to produce opium.
