Can the NHS rescue the Afghan economy?

Maybe it can if doctors get their way. The British Medical Association may recommend that Afghan opium be imported into the UK and used to make diamorphine, essentially pharmaceutical heroin, which is in short supply. This would help Afghan farmers get a fair price for their crop whilst ensuring that the drugs stay off of the illicit market.

Why am I getting a nearly irresistible desire to break a leg?
