Please pardon my question if it's inappropriate, but isn't saffron prized for psychoactive potential in the black market? I'm ignorant about the scale to make it worthwhile considering this memory is based on some illegal logging elsewhere in the world. I'm simply curious because rebuilding in Afghanistan - or really any place that the world tends to ignore - is an absolutely human, noble cause and I hope for positive outcomes!
- aab0 10y agoI think you might be confusing saffron with poppies. Saffron is sufficiently expensive and widely used in cuisine it's hard to see it being popular for any psychoactive properties it might have compared to, say, nutmeg.

- 6stringmerc 10y agoAh! Thanks! Good to know there's a strong market for a spice without the baggage. Appreciate the clarification for sure.
- kimboleek 10y agoYes, agreed!
