An Afghan farmer shows marijuana plants which are almost ready to harvest at a marijuana field on the outskirts of Kandahar, Afghanistan's second largest city, Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2002. Farmers, not rich and well-connected dealers, will be the main target in Afghanistan's war on illegal drugs for the time being, authorities said. Powerful players behind the trade in both marijuana and opium in the region would have their stock confiscated, but would not be arrested, said Khalid Pashtoon, government spokesman for the southern province of Kandahar.(AP Photo/Apichart Weerawong)
