An old Taleban notice warns against narcotics use and production
麻薬使用および生産に対して警告する、かつてのタリバンのお布令書き。
タリバンの麻薬対策は実に有効だったのだ。
アフガニスタンにおけるタリバンのアヘン生産との戦いは、現代の「最も有効な」ドラッグコントロール政策だったのだ。
90年代には世界の麻薬取引の中心地だったアフガニスタンが、2001年のタリバン政権末期には
アヘンの生産量が3分の2に下がっていたのである。
その政策とは実に単純で、使用者と生産者に対する厳罰を草の根レベルで徹底させること。
栽培禁止のお布令を拒否した生産者には、顔を黒く塗られ、投獄されると云う厳罰が待っていた。
また時には、その格好で市中引き回しの刑にあったと云う。
そのような徹底した麻薬対策で、世界的に供給されるヘロインの量が65%低下。
しかし、タリバン政権の崩壊と共にケシの生産量は一気に増産の方向に。
タリバンの行った政策ほど有効なものは無いだろう。
だが同時に、世界的に、そのような厳格な政策は望ましくないだろう。

阿修羅ではもうお馴染みの話題ですが。
そりゃ、困るでしょうよ。麻薬ビジネスの大元のCIA、ブッシュ、チェイニー他、としては…
だからテロをでっち上げてまで、急いでタリバンを潰したかった…と。

Taleban drugs control 'effective'
The Taleban's fight against opium production in Afghanistan was the "most effective" drug control policy of modern times, research suggests.
During the 1990s, Afghanistan was the main source of the world's illicit heroin supply.
But a UK study has found a Taleban crackdown on drugs led to global heroin production falling by two-thirds in 2001.
However, it notes that such draconian methods could not be used elsewhere.
Grassroots
Most Afghan heroin production was smuggled illegally to the West and to neighbouring Pakistan and Iran.
But from July 2000 until its downfall over a year later, the Taleban regime enforced a ban on cultivating opium poppy - from which heroin is manufactured.
The new report, written by criminologist Professor Graham Farrell from Loughborough University, has not yet been published, but the BBC has seen its findings.
Professor Farrell said the Taleban's methods were successful because of the manner in which the fight was implemented at a grassroots level.
"It was a set of fairly simple techniques - the threat of eradication and the punishment of transgressors with fairly harsh punishments," he told the BBC's World Today programme.
"What was particularly interesting was the manner in which it was implemented at the local level."
Production up again
Local community groups and religious leaders were made to implement the Taleban's policies and could be punished themselves if anyone was found cultivating opium poppies in their area, he said.
Farmers who refused to comply with the policies had their faces blackened and were jailed.
In extreme cases they were paraded through the streets.
The study said the result was that poppy growing in Taleban-controlled areas almost ceased and that globally, the heroin supply fell by 65%.
But since the Taleban was deposed, poppy cultivation has increased sharply.
Mr Farrell said the success of the strategy raised important questions about drug policy and policing.
But he said it would not be desirable nor possible to take such draconian measures elsewhere.
