Not anymore, just poppies.

Edit to add;

As more countries legalize cannabis there is just no money in it.

> Afghanistan's Taliban government says it will turn some former foreign military bases into economic zones for businesses.

> Afghanistan has faced a deepening economic and humanitarian crisis since the Taliban regained control of the country in August 2021.

> "The Taliban desperately needs to boost its coffers if it is to govern better and attain some domestic legitimacy," Muhammad Faizal Bin Abdul Rahman from the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore told the BBC. "More importantly, the Taliban needs to prove its commitment to economic planning. This includes establishing safe zones near the capital and borders for potential foreign investors such as the Chinese... and to revive regional trade with neighbouring countries," he added.
