I heard that statistic a while ago on the news and it got me thinking. How much do governments around the world spend on the war on drugs. Think abou thow much damage you could do to the heroin trade if you simply paid the farmers to not grow these crops. The reason they grow it is that it earns them something like 5 times as much as any other crop. Surely paying them off at the very beginning would be cheaper than fighting it down the line.
The people that grow these things aren't all criminals. Many of them are just ordinary farmers trying to get by. Who could resist an offer to multiply their income by 5 for the same work?
