Cannabis Cultivation in Afghanistan

According to the Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime there are "startling reports about cannabis cultivation in Afghanistan [...] in 2005, farmers set aside a whopping 30,000 hectares for growing cannabis - fully one-third the amount dedicated to cannabis cultivation in Morocco, the world's number one supplier of the drug".

Does this mean that they have realized that whatever they try to do to eradicate drugs is not working, or that they want more money to try and do it "right"? you decide...
