KABUL (NNI): Cannabis farmers in Afghanistan who stopped growing the
drug crop under the Taliban rule have started once again. The
Taliban outlawed growing of the plants, which grow naturally in the
area on a commercial basis.
But fields of cannabis plants some well over 6ft-high, line part of
the main road leading west from Mazar-e-Sharif, the biggest city in
northern Afghanistan.
With the main harvest expected in one to two months, growers in the
roadside village of Khana Abad said they would ignore government
warnings to tear up their crops.
