Rajasthan farmers face opium ban

Quote:

More than 7,000 farmers in the Indian state of Rajasthan have been banned from cultivating poppies used for the legal production of opium.

Officials said they were growing poppies of inferior quality.

Sounds amazing doesn't it. But, note the word 'legal': it may not be quite what you think...
