Weed Fields of Afghanistan

It is pretty well known that Afghanistan harbors the production and distribution of various drugs — mainly opium but in this case, marijuana.

In this video a soldier in Afghanistan shows the camera around a Gigantic marijuana crop.  This field is so big you could probably mistake it for a corn crop.

Here is an interesting fact before the video:

As much as one-third of Afghanistan’s GDP comes from growing poppy and illicit drugs including opium and its two derivatives, morphine and heroin, as well as hashish production. (wikipedia)

One third of their GDP!?  That is friggin nuts.
