You heard it here first - the Taliban is turning cannabis into heroin. (Talk to your kids about smoking pot TODAY!)

Also, they initially screwed up one of the images in the story, but that is now fixed. Here's what it used to look like:

I feel pretty dumb for linking an article from them a few months ago. I have since seen some pretty ridiculous stuff come from the site.

But getting back to the article, they say that the haul weighed more than 30 double-decker buses. After a little research I found the weight of a double-decker bus to reportedly be anywhere from 8000 kg to 14500 kg. Multiply that by 30, and you have a lot of drugs.
