In Jain Dharma, growing opium is not considered उचित.

Reason:

• Opium is an intoxicating substance.
• It can lead to pramāda (carelessness), attachment, and harm.
• Jain values support ahimsa, self-control, and aparigraha.

So, a Jain should avoid growing opium and any trade or activity that supports intoxication.
