Zambia's drug agency enlists chiefs against cannabis

The Drug Enforcement Commission met traditional leaders to persuade farmers to grow food and cash crops instead of cannabis; chiefs reported growers to the agency. The campaign was an enforcement and crop-substitution effort, not a change in the law.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Zambia here.
