Reza Sepahvand
Reza Sepahvand is a member of the Iranian Parliament representing Khorramabad. He has been vocal about the need for domestic production of opium poppy, suggesting that Iran could cultivate it to produce pharmaceutical-grade opiates rather than relying on low-quality imports from Afghanistan. His recent comments highlight concerns about drug abuse in urban areas and advocate for supporting local farmers who are economically pressured to grow poppy. Sepahvand's proposals aim to secure government-backed prices for farmers while addressing national needs for medicinal opiates.
