@Dr_RJByrne There's a global shortage of opiates; why not give the farmers a real chance at higher incomes?

there is an emerging licit market, unfortunately the illicit market is run by gangsters and quality of product is very variable

there are some small holders growing licit poppy - needs quality control etc also seed and fertiliser investment

and big pharma own most of the licit production, so arent interested in smallholders

I'm sure it isn't easy, but it could be done.
