There is not a "don't ask don't tell" policy on drugs in the Army right now. The routine piss checks and DUI checkpoints tell a different story. Also, if you're caught doing drugs, it's not a slap on the wrist. I've had friends kicked out of the Army and friends demoted and forced to forfeit pay. I agree with dfghcvbn.

One of the easy aspects of this article was the non-judgement associated. It's good just to hear what is or what was and why. @Bliss thanks for clarifying that aspect. Most of the opium from the Golden triangle was being processed in factories to heroin, from there a lot was shipped to soldiers and for other countries black markets. This funded a whole secret war in Laos by the CIA. Opium likes to grow at elevations greater than 2000 meters and there isn't a lot of that in the center and south of vietnam. A lot in the North but most fighting wasn't near these areas, Most opium and products would be from Laos, Burma a bit from Nth thailand but not so much and possibly a bit from Southern China although i've never heard of it being grown there since Communism. Interestingly the only prohibitionist state where prohibition and closing the borders brought opium use to zero :( Thanks Tom,
