A group in England has the answer: buy all the opium in Afghanistan,
at a fraction of the price of the "war on drugs", make it into legal
painkillers desperately needed in poor countries, and give it away to
hospitals through the governments. End of problem.
It will never happen because it makes too much sense and interferes
with the profits by the people who direct the trade at the highest
levels, a topic well-researched by Peter Dale Scott and others. The
IMF could solve this in an snap if that were the real goal.

was hampering economic development, the International Monetary Fund
said Wednesday.
