I believe that was one of the original plans which made things go in a gray area and allow them to continue growing and selling. They left it open, but forgot to carry it through and allow these corps to buy the product for morphine, etc. Now there's still a problem and they're still scratching their heads.
Bah.

Hello, I don't know if this is the right thread to post my find in, but it will get the message around, and that's the main thing.
This article is from The Globeand Mail:
Manley defends call for 1,000 more soldiers
Number is a bare minimum, panel leader explains, as separate report says Canada's Afghan mission will run $1-billion over budget this year
The Tory government also scrambled Tuesday to explain a report that the Afghanistan mission will run $1-billion over budget this fiscal year.
Documents obtained under the Access to Information Act indicate the mission has cost Canadian taxpayers at least $7.5-billion since 2001 – double what was budgeted. The documents say the mission cost $538-million more than expected over the first six months of the current fiscal year, and is projected to overshoot its budget by another $539-million by March 31.
....one Canadian commander last month said Canada needs as many as 5,000 professional soldiers, double its current force, to hold Kandahar's key districts....

Shouldn't we rather look after our own children???
"...found that one in eight Canadian children, or 788,000, lives in poverty.
Of all the provinces, Ontario had the highest number of children living in poverty, with 345,000."
In essence we are making our children pay for the war in Afghanistan!!
How sad and stupid at the same time.
