It only hurts when I laugh
There's a problem in Afghanistan, there's no morphine or codeine for pain relief, so anyone injured or sick has to suffer. This is the Afghanis of course; the occupying forces have plenty in their state-of-the-art military hospitals, nothing's too good for our boys, but for the native population there is nothing, no pain relief, no cancer drugs, just rudimentary bandaging for wounds that then become infected. This despite the fact that Afghanistan is the single largest producer of opium, from which both morphine and codeine are derived. The poppy crop is being destroyed by troops whenever they find it in the mistaken belief that this somehow addresses the problem of addiction in the West and furthers the 'war on drugs', yet the whole crop could be purchased legitimately and used to manufacture morphine and codeine for hospitals everywhere, including those in Afghanistan where people are dying in agony. The farmers would make a living as well, with no need to find substitute crops which aren't suitable for the growing conditions that poppy thrives in. There is a global shortage of morphine for health services, yet huge amounts of poppy and opium are destroyed annually. It beggers belief what the thinking behind this bizarre attitude is. |
