Drug use by Marines, Taliban and Afghan police/army during the Helmand province campaign needs its own study and book.

Why that province specifically?

[omio]

Just an anecdote of mine. I'm sure there was plenty of drug use in other provinces but my personal experience was in the Helmand. I try not to talk about other places and units I don't have experience in.

[yocheckit]

Was their a lot of drug use going on? Which drugs?

[omio]

Oh yea. Mostly weed and some opium. In my company over 50% of us smoked weed.

Lots of Afghanis use opium. Not much else to do out there.
