Opium poppy licensing: eligibility, quality and cultivation limits determine access to government licenses and future eligibility. Notification prescribes eligibility and licensing conditions for opium poppy cultivation including priority to prior cultivators meeting specified yields, restrictions against illicit cultivation and tendering adulterated or 'inferior' opium as determined by Government laboratories, limits on licensed area and plot numbers with allowance for leased land, a condonable small excess cultivation margin, and forewarning provisions that minimum qualifying yields, morphine content, plough-back practices and laboratory findings may affect eligibility for subsequent licensing; licensing remains subject to Narcotics Commissioner discretion and possible selection of fields for research or straw extraction.
