Can Jain grow opium
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.
