Opium use has spread through the whole families and village in Afghanistan. They sells most of its opium to other countries and enough remains. There were at least 200,000 opium and heroin addicts in Afghanistan. The small town addiction sweeps through villages like a plague from old men to toddlers. Most addicts start taking opium to help with illness and pain. They said, "OPium is our doctor". They spend $3-4 a day on opium. But they wage is $2. They have debt. They need urgent help.
