Bengal brought growers, stores and exports of ganja under licence, tightening the control that had begun with licences for sellers in 1793. Growing was concentrated around Naogaon, in today's northern Bangladesh, where the crop later passed through government warehouses to licensed shops. That licensed trade lasted until independent Bangladesh banned growing in 1987 and sales in 1989.[1][2]
