But while there has been a sharp rise in poppy production in the troubled south, the drug crop has been eliminated in a growing number of provinces in the safer north of the country. Balkh province in the north was trumpeted as a success story — from 7,000 hectares of poppies cultivated in 2006, it was declared opium-free in 2007 after strong local government action.

But medical marijuana doesn’t come with a standard dose or even a standard method of taking the drug. The 1998 law never has spelled out how much usable pot, or how many plants, make up a 60-day supply. Now the state Legislature has demanded an answer to the question by July, and the state is holding hearings to ask experts and citizens for their opinions on how to determine a two-month supply. “There is so much you will have to take into account,” says Joanna McKee, founder of Seattle’s Green Cross Patient Co-op… But medical marijuana doesn’t come with a standard dose or even a standard method of taking the drug.
