Obama names India, Pakistan among drug majors

[CardSharp]

I knew we produce a lot of legal drugs being the world's second largest pharmaceutical industry.

Never knew about the illegal ones.

Some of the reasons why i think India made it to that list is:
1.A lot of drugs banned and considered illegal in the west are still in use in India.
2.When have such a large industry,obviously a lot of fake copies and imitations of those drugs will pop up.

I think Obama is talking about ClassIV drugs (cocaine, heroine, etc) banned drugs used elsewhere but not the US aren't in that class. One reason I think India may have made the list is because of its pseudoephedrine production. Pseudoephedrine and ephedrine are major pre-cursors in the product of methamphetamine, which has become the biggest problem drug in the US.

Pseudoephedrine and ephedrine are both legitimate drugs that are found in cold medicine and body-building supplements. India and China's pharmaceutical industry is where the source of illicit pre-cursor comes from. 1 kg of Pseudoephedrine retails for $68 dollars in China or India but will sell for $10,000 a kg in Mexico where the major meth labs are setup.

Oh and 1 kg of meth sells for $100,000 on the street. With margins like that drug dealers will take any risk to make and sell the stuff.

right now Pakistan is a vulnerable country, everyone can degrade or make false theories on it, at the time of Musharaf atleast we never heard such things, it will take couple of more years for this utter crap to finish

 

[Frankenstein]

What about USA, there are more junkies in USA then else where

obama should just stfu before he pisses off too many people maybe he should take a look at where the CIA got the money to fund the afghan jihad against the soviets or maybe take a look at miami a well known transit point for international drug smugglers.

The reason India is on is probably because they do have have a huge drug problem. But when you compare it to their huge population, it's not that much.

Afghanistan being on there just shows how the ISAF forces aren't willing to stop it.

Pakistan may have a drug problem, but it has other sh!t to deal with now. Plus, he just claimed that drugs are merely transported through it, not actually used or produces. When you have Afghanistan as a neighbor, that's only expected.

Mexico's problem is that all the drug users are in US. So, all the drug cartels get as close as possible to US, like Mexico or Canada. (British Columbia has a rather big drug problem.)

Drug Use by Country [PIC]. It's two years old, but it's the latest drug data I could find.

India is between Golden Cresent and Golden Triangle, which are major producers of Narcotics.

India, a hub for illicit narcotics trade : INCB

India is less of a production point, it is a transit hub.

 

[NWO]

Atleast Bush kept his allies close and tried making new ones. This guy just ticks everyone off

Nope, Bush planted all the seeds for Obama's foreign policy. If you ask me, both are equally bad.

I think our venerable president need to do a good job cracking down drug dealers smuggling crack cocaine across the border in their *** cracks before commenting on other countries... Oh wait, California is about to legalize Marijuana. My bad.

p.s. I really hope that the Conservatives don't start calling imported Marijuana "cheap knock offs" and encourage everyone to purchase 100%, genuine, "patriotic" American dope.

What... marijuana is already legal in Cali, but had to be prescribed by a doctor. That ain't that hard for doctor to prescribe medical marijuana to patients complaining about back pain and sleeping disorders...& etc

Last year California had profited more than $24 billion dollars distributing weed on counter. Even vending machines are now distributing marijuana like cold beverages

p.s. I really hope that the Conservatives don't start calling imported Marijuana "cheap knock offs" and encourage everyone to purchase 100%, genuine, "patriotic" American dope.

If it's not a some good sh!t like kush or haze, then it is Arizona dirt grass....As they call it.
