Cables from Kabul

Afghanistan produces close to 95% of the world’s heroin. It’s everywhere here. In this episode of Cables from Kabul, we spend some time with a few of the many thousands of addicts that fill the streets of Kabul, hearing their stories and visiting their hangouts. First we speak to a young Afghan who gives us a heads up about the new craze for pharmaceutical drugs and then we check out the big H for ourselves.
