Background In 2005, ICOS started its research into an Afghan Poppy for Medicine model. The initial findings were released in the form of a Feasibility Study at a conference in Kabul. Building on these initial findings and ongoing extensive field research, ICOS has released its Poppy for Medicine Technical Dossier, including all technical specifications and the entire economic model of the system.

Afghanistan faces an unprecedented security and reconstruction crisis. Resolving Afghanistan’s opium crisis is the key to the international community’s successful stabilisation and development of the country. Yet, by over-emphasising failed counter-narcotics strategies such as forced poppy eradication, the United States-led international community has aggravated the security situation, precluding the very reconstruction and development necessary to remove Afghan farmers’ need to cultivate poppy. In 2006 Afghanistan produced 92% of the world’s total illegal opium, directly involving at least 13% of the country’s population...

firstly i have to agree its a better thing to allow open trade than let the americans rob it as they have been doing since the start of the afgan "crisis", it is very interesting to see american drug imports over the period ,these can be googled ,note how the importation of raw opiates rockets ,hmm i wonder if the empty troop planes were shipping it back once they had droped of the "field protection soldiers", its also interesting that the taliban has been the most effective group at removing the production of poppies,they managed a 80 percent reduction ,they also increased food production ,a task which the un and their cronies cant seem to manage ,
