Despite the fact that opium poppy is the main source of opium production and that the public security authorities have been heavily combating the private cultivation of opium poppy, why is it still being cultivated? In recent days, one such case has been investigated in jiangxi kingde town。
On 15 april, the anti-drug squad of the police station of chushan, cinder town, conducted a no-saping survey in changjiang village and discovered suspected poppy plants in villagers ' fields。
As confirmed by the anti-drug civilian police on-site, the village's land was under opium poppy cultivation and a total of 12 were counted at the site. The civilian police immediately eliminated the opium poppy and transferred the villagers suspected of illicit opium poppy cultivation to the stone lion harbor police station for further processing。
According to the villager, she had grown poppy only because she had a good flower and was tired of working on a day-to-day basis to stop and look at the flower, which would be a lot easier, knowing that poppy cultivation was illegal and that she had not been smoked or sold。
