Opium replacement
"Opium replacement" simply means the process of replacing the opium poppy, the source of morphine and heroin, with non-drug crops. This kind of project was probably first discussed in the mid-sixties, and was first implemented in northern Thailand, by Thailand's King, Bhumibol Adulyadej, in 1969.
