Just saying...




However, cocaine was brought up not for this point. Just merely an example of contra/afghan scenario. Cocaine was present prior to 80's and has had its ups and downs as far as usage, but due to government support, it skyrocketed at that point.

I dont fully believe it, but some guy went all off on me the other week with his conspiracies and this was part of it. Knowing the past, this might be some explanation as to the recent heroin proliferation. The trafficking is being somewhat protected by our own government, so its spiking in availability.
