Luang Namtha province, Laos

One single opium poppy growing in a fallow ricefield. Opium use has decreased to a minimum over the past years, I am assuming this was a wild grown plant from a scattered seed. Opium use is discouraged by the authorities, and generally also by villagers. However, a few older addicts that stil smoke are usually condoned by the community.
