The shit grows wild all over Pakistani!!! It is not illegal there and wild poppy probably grows on the golf course. But then the dummy’s in the media probably do not know what those pretty flowers are.
In N India, Jammu & Kashmir, workers are paid to walk through the road ditches and roll the leaves in their hands. When their hands get covered in the THC laden "tar" it's peeled off and sold in golf ball size lumps in every market place. Their versions of a drug store sell it openly.
