In order to live in Iran today they have to be high on something..reality is too hard, specially with the crazy Ayatollahs. So a trip on any drug is better.
2. One would have to be insane ...

... to do drugs in Iran. In Iran, drug addiction is not considered a disease. It's considered a capital offense. Primitive savages. Those who take drugs are suicidal -- but who can blame them?
3. Makes you wonder

With police on every corner, how this drug problem is so out of control? Perhaps they turn a blind eye because a drugged out population is easier to control. Prostitution and human trafficking also growing problem for Iran.

result would be higher if you include people who get high on local religion and lose touch with real world! religion is the opiate of the masses said Lenin. and it destroys rational thinking!
5. If sharia is from GOD.......

If sharia is from GOD surely there is no power of influence for the better. Even so brutal and in some cases injustice and not the culprit punished. I met a middle age Iranian man in 1997 Sydney. He said, "I used to dream sharia for Iran but when I went home for holidays it was like hell to my standard. Drugs addicts infested at every quite corners. Well where is the the power from allah? That was 1997!
