Drugs harm the enviornment?

[Gem]

Yes, I saw that from the "Drug support terrorisms" ads, but this time drugs harm the environment.

Can anyone find anything about this? Is it really true?

What, you're saying that our government would (gasp!) LIE to us??? :eek:

Hate to dissapoint you shanek, but the government is techically correct.. I mean think of the devastation those poppy/whatever fields cause, not to mention the transport costs fuel and so on. So I propose the government to start a new campaign called "agriculture/living/food harms the enviroment" Atleast then the tax money would be spent on worthy causes..

Perhaps, but how does that compare to industrial or domestic waste? 1%? And what excuse is the government gonna come next? As Bill Maher so blatantly pointed out, concerning that recent anti-pot commercial where a kid accidentally shoots his friend with a handgun, POT isn't what should be blamed, but BAD PARENTING and FIREARMS. Alcohol claims much more lives every year than all drugs together, so why not do anti-alcohol campaigns? It's just all very strange... to me at least.
