Buying blow Kabul

A drug that is a mix of meth and opioids, and believed to be the first of its kind in the world, is on the rise in Afghanistan. The pills have been steadily growing in popularity, particularly among young Afghans, since Despite this, until now, there has been little attempt to find out what the pills contain. It found that while the drugs were sold under one brand name, the contents fell into three types. The opioids found in these pills was most often heroin, but was sometimes tramadol, a synthetic opioid painkiller. Although the MDMA infused pills are typically sold for more than those containing meth or heroin, the report said there was no obvious link between the visual aspects of the tablets and the presence of a particular drug. So in essence people buying tablet K are essentially involved in a lucky, or unlucky dip, and could find themselves getting high from meth, MDMA or a combination of meth and heroin. One in ten of the pills also contained sildenafil, which is sold under the brand name Viagra. Mixing stimulant and depressant drugs in the same hit is something heroin users have been doing for decades with speedballs, by buying cocaine or crack and heroin, and either injecting or snorting them both at the same time. Stimulants and depressants are also mixed in Red Bull and vodkas or espresso martinis. But drug trade observers who spoke to VICE World News said they had not come across a ready-made product containing the two types of high before. Between March and March officials seized 80kg of the tablets around , individual pills , double the amount seized the previous year. In a survey carried out among young people found that for the first time use of tablet K was higher than methamphetamine, also a rising drug in Afghanistan which has become a meth production hub. According to the report, tablet Ks are found across urban and rural parts of Afghanistan, with a high prevalence in the Eastern bordering Pakistan and Northeastern bordering Tajikistan regions, where use of the drug is two to three times higher than average. Production facilities for tablet K have been detected in Kabul and Kunduz, but there have also been reports of the pills being trafficked from Peshawar in Pakistan and Tajikistan. Analysis of tablet Ks found the pills contained a total of 26 different substances. Alongside meth, heroin and MDMA analysts found a plethora of cheap pharmaceuticals such as caffeine, carisoprodol a muscle relaxant , chlorpheniramine and diphenhydramine antihistamines , dextromethorphan a cough suppressant , propranolol a beta blocker , diazepam, sildenafil, paracetamol, tramadol, chloroquine an antimalarial medication , and tinidazole an antiprotozoal medication.

A New Drug That Contains Meth and Heroin Is on the Rise in Afghanistan

Buying blow Kabul

Now, out of a population of 35 million, more than a million are addicted to drugs - proportionately the highest figure in the world. Right in the heart of Kabul, on the stony banks of the Kabul River, drug addicts gather to buy and use heroin. It's a place of misery and degradation. In broad daylight about a dozen men and teenage boys sit huddled in pairs smoking and injecting. Among them are some educated people - a doctor, an engineer and an interpreter. Tariq Sulaiman, from Najat, a local addiction charity, comes here regularly to try to persuade addicts to get treatment. At the age of 18, Jawid, originally from Badakhshan in the north of Afghanistan, has already been hooked on heroin for 10 years. His uncle introduced him to drugs when he was a small child, to make him work harder on the land. Everyone hates me. I should have been at school at this age, but I am a junkie,' he says. His father is dead. His disabled mother worries about her son constantly. All she wants from life is for him to get clean, but she begs on the streets to pay for his daily dose to prevent him stealing. This is the fate of the most hardcore addicts, whose fires can be seen at night. Police regularly beat and disperse them, and sometimes throw them in the river. Jawid: ''I came here to quit, to become a nice person''. The reasons why so many Afghans are turning to drugs are complex. It's clear that decades of violence have played a part. Many of those who fled during the violence of the last 30 years took refuge in Iran and Pakistan, where addiction rates have long been high. They're now returning and bringing their drug problems with them, officials say. He says he takes drugs 'to be calm and to relax' - but that he would prefer to be dead than a junkie, as he now is. Another factor is the increasing availability of heroin, which over the last decade has begun to be refined from raw opium in Afghanistan itself. To buy heroin in Kabul is 'as easy as buying yourself something to eat', addicts say. When foreign troops arrived in Afghanistan in , one of their goals was to stem drug production. Instead, they have concentrated on fighting insurgents, and have often been accused of turning a blind eye to the poppy fields. Opium has been around in Afghanistan for centuries, used as a kind of medical cure-all. In a hospital in the northern city of Mazar-e Sharif, I met an Afghan woman, Fatima, who had taken opium while suffering from bleeding after childbirth, because it was cheaper than going to a doctor. Then she gave it to her baby to stop her coughing during breastfeeding - and now both are addicted. While Fatima and her baby are getting treatment at a public hospital, few Afghan addicts get any help at all. All told, the health ministry runs 95 addiction treatment centres around the country, with enough bed space for 2, people. Jawid alone consumes heroin worth about three times that every day. The treatment consists of going 'cold turkey' for 72 hours. The participants began by getting their heads shaved. After one day, Jawid was in pain, but he could deal with it. Then, on the second night, he started shouting and crying and banging his head against a wall. When I met him on the street, he denied that he was back on heroin, but his glazed eyes and rambling speech told a different story. As he disappeared into the snowy twilight, his chances of kicking his habit seemed bleak. And as Afghanistan faces so many problems on so many fronts, its chances of winning the wider war on drugs seem equally uncertain.
