Under Taliban rule, no changes so far for cannabis farmers | AFP

Afghanistan’s new Taliban authorities promise to crack down on the illicit drugs trade that largely fuelled their successful revolt. But so far nothing has changed for cannabis farmers like Ghulam Ali, whose crop stands head-height across three hectares (eight acres) of land outside Kandahar.

    I dont know why the western system, like goverment, media and all are always so concern about wé@d all over the world. US has a lot of dictator friends, they never cared about anything, but they somehow give a lot of damn about what farmers of afghanistan is growing. Same goes for western media.

    I think western countries did this to rule the Alcohol Industry all over the world, today almost all the premium brand for whiskey and alcohol are western, all they care about money and taxes which would get reduce if people have the freedom to smoke this plant.

    This is not the way. Hashish has been around for centuries. They need to continue to make this. Farmers depend on it. It’s medicine for the ill. Please reconsider this, do not ban your number one crop.

  18. @user-fw3nq1rr9o on February 12, 2024 at 12:28 am

    Алкоголь льется рекой, а натуральный продукт запрещен. Бабушка в конце 90х. выращивала по периметру зерновых коноплю от вредителей . По юности балавался сейчас она мне не интересна. Алкоголь поперек горла встает. Иногда надо чем то перезагрузиться но пока решения не нашёл.

    Drugs IN AFGHANISTAN are OPIUM. Weed means NOTHING there.

    Their fight against drugs !!? OMG , haven’t people learned you can never win a "fight" with non living things ?? Drugs , homelessness , hunger , bras 😂. Anyway , you cant fight these things because they never give up. You can only win a fight if your opponent accepts defeat and these things have no consciousness. How silly to even say such a thing. I’d never disrespect and humiliate myself by going on the record and saying things like this !!

    There’s a difference between hash cannabis and the drug dens down ridden with heroin heads … This report is written by someone not knowledgeable in the two subjects



  40. @teboh1349 on February 12, 2024 at 12:57 am

    If they wouldn’t let the people grow it, they’d get a big problem. 😂
    Even religious fanatism can’t do anything against drugs. This is what people call freedom in Afghanistan.

    By the way: Is there any problem to be adicted to cannabis?



  41. @user-wl8hh3qo4f on February 12, 2024 at 12:57 am

    Легализуйте и контролируйте рынок. Так же нужно наладить производство разной продукции из неё, это принесёт хороший доход в бюджет.
