International 🇱🇧 Lebanon

The United States takes Lebanon off its list of major drug producers

An eradication campaign in the early 1990s had nearly halted cannabis farming in the Bekaa, and Lebanon was removed from the US list of major drug-producing countries. The money promised for alternative crops never arrived, and the development programme was dropped in 2001.[1][2]
