Yes India is the largest producer of Opium in SA but they aren't producing it for self consumption or smuggling they use it for Morphine production.

^^exactly lol...opiates have many uses apart from getting high.

India has a huge pharmaceutical industry and its only naturally to have a good supply of Opium.

Shocking indeed...

Yaha Hamare liye Kam Pad raha haii , Aur ye log Export har Raehe Haii...

We already Face a Scarcity of it , how Dare they Export It...

Most drug users use OTC synthetic drugs, so all the morphine so produced must be licensed one, so the drug abuse is being caused by illegal distribution not production.

A intoxicated person is hardly capable of a polite discussion...

well thanks God here in Iran we don't need to trouble ourselves to raise opium to produce morphine for medical use
in fact by confiscating around 1-1.5 tons per day of Opiates from smugglers we have so much of these junks that we
only use Heroin to produce Morphine and destroy all the opium .

by the way Article is a little vague after reading it I get the impression that India is the largest producer of Heroin not
Opium and they use the Opium imported from other countries for producing Heroin .
I'd be glad if somebody can clarify this for me In India they raise Opium themselves or they used the imported Opium
and convert it.

An earlier UN report also highlighted the issue


NEW DELHI: India has become the hotspot for drug cartels to source chemicals needed for illicit manufacturing of synthetic psychotropic drugs such as methamphetamine, a UN narcotics control agency said Wednesday.

"South Asia has become one of the main regions used by drug traffickers to obtain the chemicals needed for illicit manufacture of methamphetamine, namely ephedrine and pseudoephedrine," the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) said in its annual report for 2010 released at its Vienna headquarters.

"India is one of the main sources of psychotropic substances sold through illegal internet pharmacies," the 17-page INCB report said, in a direct indictment of the country's narcotics control efforts.

Psychotropic substances are chemical compounds that affect the processes of the mind or body. Normally used in the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of diseases, these are also illicitly used for its effects on the central nervous system.

The INCB is the independent monitoring body for the implementation of the United Nations international drug control conventions such as the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971 and the UN Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988.

It said the law enforcement agencies in India seized 1.2 tonnes of ephedrine in 2009 and they increasingly uncover facilities, where methamphetamine destined for markets in other countries is illicitly manufactured.

The criminal networks, the report said, are increasingly targeting Bangladesh as a source of pharmaceutical products containing these precursor chemicals and pseudoephedrine from India is also formed into tablets in Bangladesh before being set to central America and the Carribean.

Pointing out that pharmaceutical products containing narcotics drugs and psychotropic substances are widely abused in south Asian countries, the report said 18,600 ampoules containing buprenorphine, a painkiller, were seized in Bangladesh in 2009, a significant increase compared to 2006.

It also observed that cannabis is cultivated on a large scale throughout south Asia and gave the Bangladesh example where 2.1 tonnes of the herb were seized by law enforcement agencies in 2009.

"The shortest route for smuggling Afghan opiates to Europe is through Iran. An estimated 37 percent of Afghan heroin is smuggled through the country each year, with the remainder going through Pakistan or through central Asian route of Kazakhstan, Krygyzstan, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan," the report said.

The Middle East, however, is the main transit route for Afghan heroin smuggled into the Arab countries, it added.

In a major warning, though, INCB observed that opium stockpiles in Afghanistan and neighbouring countries total some 12,000 tonnes, equivalent to two-and-a-half years of global illicit demand for opiates.

"The fact that illicit opium production decreased in 2010 does not mean that there will be a decline in heroin manufacture on the illicit market, as sufficient stocks of opium are available," it cautioned.

If there is going to be good demand for it in the international market, then we will do that as well.
