Bothers you that they're doing their job, does it?
Don't worry, there's tons more heroin out there left for consumption by the poor misunderstood, innocent victims who, just made a bad choice in life.

Why would it bother me? It's a waste of resources like you say.
The root cause of the swift spread of poppy cultivation in Afghanistan is primarily poverty and opportunism. Rural areas often lack all basic services and functioning infrastructure, while income-generating opportunities are scarce. According to those implementing programmes, alternative livelihood projects can only work as part of a wider multi-sector alternative development package, requiring massive investment and commitment throughout Afghanistan. Anthony Fitz-Herbert, senior advisor on alternative livelihoods to the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development, told IRIN: "There is no magic bullet, alternative livelihoods is not a rabbit that can be pulled out of a hat. It requires long-term holistic rural development and nothing less".
Prohibition + Poverty = Violence.

It maybe their current assignment but this is most certainly not their job.

In other news fish caught in the same area has increased in price to $20/gram.

Then you want guns legalized because if poor people can't have guns they'll get violent?

Did guns become illegal? When did that happen?

It isn't a waste of resources if it keeps one person from becoming addicted to heroin or causes a shortage that makes one addict seeks out treatment, is it?
Gee, what a simplistic approach to a complex problem. What he forgot to mention or apparently take into account is that the Farmers livelihood is being controlled by the Taliban and even if this gentleman figured out how to get them to grow other crops for the same profit they wouldn't be allowed to and still keep a head on their shoulders. But hey it sounds good.

My apologies. Bad choice of words especially since it's "Not a Job, It's an adventure" and just because the definition of job is:
noun
1.
a piece of work, especially a specific task done as part of the routine of one's occupation or for an agreed price:
Doesn't mean they should be denying poor disadvantaged North American Drug addicts of their personal enjoyment especially when they could be doing much more important things like shoveling out the City of Toronto from their latest snowfall.

Guns are illegal in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK and seems to me there's plenty of violence in those places.

breaks everything down quite well into estimated illicit weapons, registered rifles, handguns and shotguns
