they should just mix-in some poppy into it and it will magically find its way out of the country :) Seriously though i wonder whether any interaction with Taliban - they are government there, so say paying any custom fee, etc. would thus become a material interaction with an officially designated terrorist group - would make one a criminal in the most of the world.
>* Harvesting pine nuts is extremely dangerous, and labor is expensive.
30+ years ago working summer construction jobs in Siberia we'd go into the forest to gather the nuts - i mean you'd climb up the pine tree to the very very top where most of the pines cones are, and the top of the pine is swaying in the wind, and there is around you like a beautiful sea of the pine tops moving like a kind of sea waves.
Locals though would just get a chainsaw and fall the pine trees and gather the pine cones that way.
