On 12 February 2015 The Associated Press reported: Officials say methamphetamine production and abuse of hard drugs are skyrocketing in Iran despite potentially lethal criminal penalties for users if they are caught. The increase is partly because Iran is the main gateway for the region's top drug exporter, Afghanistan -- and partly because Iranian dealers are profiting so handsomely. Anti-narcotics and medical officials say more than 2.2 million of Iran's 80 million citizens already are addicted to illegal drugs, including 1.3 million on registered treatment programmes. They say the numbers keep rising annually, even though use of the death penalty against convicted smugglers has increased, too, and now accounts for more than nine of every 10 executions. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern health and government systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.
