Afghanistan
Occupying forces send Afghan crack only to Iran
2010-02-17
Deadly narcotics like compact heroin, crack, is only produced, under the guidance of certain Western countries in Afghanistan, for consumption in Iran, commander of the drug squad says.
Of course, another aspect of the war of the World vs Iran. *sigh* Some people ought to put training wheels on their brains.
"During the latest visit to neighboring countries, we found no signs of crack use. Crack is produced in Afghanistan under the guidance of western countries and sent to Iran," Commander of the drug squad General Hossein-Abadi told IRNA.
Afghanistan has coca plants?
Crack is a purified and potent form of cocaine that is smoked rather than snorted. The freebase narcotic is considered a highly addictive drug. But what is known as Crack in Iran is the compact heroine that is often compounded with psychedelic drugs, potent acids, Ammoniac, stimulant drugs (amphetamine) and etc.

Hossein-Abadi said Europe is the main producer of the basic ingredients of crack and other narcotics extracted from heroin.

"Some 13,000 tonnes of acetic anhydride and hydrochloric acid, which are the main ingredients for producing crack, are brought to Afghanistan from Europe. The production of crack will cease if the acids are not provided," he said.

"Heroin appears to constitute 80 percent of the drugs seized by the Iranian police. It seems that western countries have direct influence in drug trafficking," Hossein-Abadi noted.

"All western countries worry about is business. According to UN statistics, one kilogram of heroin that is sold for $2,180 in Afghanistan, costs $80,000 in London," he said.

"Crack has become popular because it has very strong psychological addictive properties. Crack gives an instant high and then the user wants more," the commander of the drug squad said.

"It carries a lot of health risks, particularly with its association to violent crime. To feed their addiction, users spend hundreds of dollars a day and they get that money from burglary, robbery and shoplifting," Hossein-Abadi finalized.

#6  "Compact heroin(e)"? Suuure, because normal heroin is such a damn bulky drug! I guess finding adequate storage space can be a real challenge.

#5  "If we really wanted to screw with Iran, we would send in a combination of crack cocaine and PCP. It was briefly called the "Superman" drug, because you feel like you have godlike powers."

How do you know Amedinejad is not already smoking it?

It would explain alot.

#4  And if Afghanistan really is the source, we could track down the labs and chemical importers, ending the propoganda.

#3  We have the best forensics labs in the world--let us help determine the origin of those chemicals. If Iranian crack is coca-based, it would be proof of their meddling in South America, where Hezbollah has known cells.

#2  If we really wanted to screw with Iran, we would send in a combination of crack cocaine and PCP. It was briefly called the "Superman" drug, because you feel like you have godlike powers. More than anything else, you want to smoke as much of it as you possibly can.

So if a person has enough, the odds are very high that they will keep smoking it until they drop dead. One of the few times there was an outbreak of it in the US, there were some 60 ODs in a few days.

Imagine what a ton of that stuff could do.
