Professors Farrell and Thorne (2005) have written an interesting paper that shows that the Taliban’s ban on opium poppy cultivation in 2000 resulted in dramatic declines of 90.8% in the number of hectares cultivated with poppy in Afghanistan and 35% in the size of illegal poppy plantings in the worl...
