They said I was a food snap stamps trafficker I did no such thing. I still got into trouble and I have to pay all these food stamps back for something that I didn't do.

Why else farm poppy?

I don't have any empathy for dealers or addicts. We all make our beds.

Gee..let me feel sorry for people growing the raw material for heroin~~~

Ok...?

Capitalism is the same everywhere.

Please stop with attempting to make us feel sorry for poppy growers. I don't care how bad off they are-it was a conscious decision to grow it and I highly doubt they don't know where the crop goes...

There is an enlightening and entertaining chapter in the book Freakonomics called, “why drug dealers still live with their Mom.” It sheds light on this subject.

how fucking sad....

coffee and coco leaf growers are under the same pressures

SOTU drugspolicy poppy cartel

And what do you suggest?

Fact: Poverty is not included in the agreed upon international definition asylum seeker.

The labs in China have been happy to fill in the gaps. Payback for the Opium wars... and perhaps worse?

Trump can help apply for farm aid.

How much would it cost to buy their crops at a fair price, and burn them? I bet it's cheaper than battling cartels.

Those guys need union organization?
