Afghanistan's reputation as the world's leading narcotics dealer is well-known, but in a squalid ruin in Kabul, the country hides a darker secret, a huge home grown drug habit problem now on the brink of fueling an HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Here junkies lie in their own filth, wasted limbs poking out of blood-spattered clothes as they blank out the abject misery of their surroundings. In one room, a veritable narcotics bazaar offers pills and drug paraphernalia, with hits retailing at less than $4.
One user claims he has been an addict for 22 years, although it is hard to talk to any of the dazed and ragged occupant of the drug rooms. The atmosphere is edgy and, as thick clouds of burning opium fill the air, dizzyingly poisonous.
