hmmm..gotta agree with Bill on this one. Its BS we can't have them produce something else other than drug plants, with all the economic power we have.

How about Coffee? Can Coffee grow in Afghanistan (mountains maybe, winter...)? Someone should tell Starbucks.

Opium does have some legitimate uses as a drug, Percocet is derived from opiates, maybe we should simply have drug companies buy up all the stocks instead of dealers.

With all our power we haven't convinced South Americans to not grow coca.

Alternative crops are the way to go. Colombia wouldn't be the mess it is today if they could grow coffee beans.

Coffee contains the highly addictive drug-- caffein. All you are doing is trading one drug for another.
