Yup, spot on man.
I just watched an episode of Drugs Inc. about the Mexican army raiding and destroying poppy fields, with the raids financed and encouraged by the US DEA and found myself, for better or worse, cheering when a raid on a poppy plantation yielded freshly cut and harvested poppies.
One good thing is the poor farmers didn't get arrested, go to jail or have their properties, funds or good name destroyed, all the while being fleeced to help finance a monster government created industry. They did however lose 6 months of work and their crops which was bad enough, at the behest of our government and because the pharmaceuticals hooked and continue to hook wave after wave of opiate abusers who with the crackdown on Pharma opiates have turned to heroin.
