Poverty feeds Afghan drugs trade -- BBC

"I only have a small area of land and 10 people in my family," one farmer says angrily. --- "I can only grow enough wheat to last two months on this land, so the only way to feed them is growing poppies." --- Another man had his poppy crop eradicated last year, but it will not stop him trying again. --- "I lost my poppies, but those grown by the rich and the powerful aren't touched. So why should I stop growing them?" he asks.
