The opium is in the pan in the centre resting on thousands of opium bulbs. Fascinating. Here its legal and in elsewhere in India- Kashmir, HP and Arunachal- its illegal. So it is in Afghanistan. There is need for morphine all over the world. Just8 coutnries consume 80% of all morphine legally produced. The otheres have to buy it at exorbitant rates. Say $ 30 for a 10 mg tablet. In India the same morphine tablet costs just 8 cents!!!!
