Over 400,000 drug addicts were arrested in Iran during the past two and a half years, said Tuesday an Iranian official. In a press statement, the Chairman of Iran Narcotics Control Headquarters (INCH) Brigadier Mahdi Aboyi said during the same period 177,000 drug-dealers were arrested, adding that 23,496 of them were apprehended during confrontations along the Iranian-Afghan common-borders. While saying that authorities had managed to eradicate an international drug-trafficking network in Bushehr and arresting five of its members, he pointed out that 369 drug dealers were killed and 419 tons of drugs were confiscated during that period. |

#1 Iran has the greatest number and greatest proportion of heroin addicts in the world. Mainly due to its proximity to and long border with afghanistan. Saying that, mind you, living under the mad mullahs you can understand the temptation to obliterate reality in a cloud of opiates |
