How striking that even the fearless Zig is too terrified (at the  
consequences for his Obama?) to state the obvious: opium poppies  
produce a product of enormous value as an anaesthetic and analgesic  
that should be legally cultivated, bought up at a generous price, and  
distributed worldwide for its "legitimate" (not that recreational use  
is in any way illegitimate) medical uses--thus drying up the finances  
for the Taliban/CIA/Mafia cartel.
