“Opium is the best pain killer medicine rather the most valuable medicine provided consumed moderately not as a poison, but it is our bad luck that opium is being consumed as a poison in India”: Vaidya-"Doctor" or "Traditional Indian Physician" Heard Advising about 50 years ago.
Health Care: Discrimination along with cruelty for and against common man and hapless by the governments and some royal families for the use of said medicine as Ayurveda medicine in India:
“Vaidya (Sanskrit: वैद्य), is a Sanskrit word meaning "doctor" or "traditional physician" versed in Ayurveda medicine. It was and is used generally in India to refer to a person who practises ayurveda, an indigenous Indian system of medicine. Senior practitioners or teachers were called Vaidyarāja ("physician-king") as a mark of respect. Some practitioners who had complete knowledge of the texts and were excellent at their practices were known as Pranaacharya. Some royal families in India had a personal vaidya in attendance and these people were referred to as Rāja Vaidya ("the king's physician"). From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“Principles of palliative care and pain medicine: The first step in managing pain is to do a total pain assessment. You may be asked to choose a number from 0 to 10 to rank your pain, with 0 being very mild pain and 10 being the worst possible pain you could have.
Keep in mind 3 important principles when deciding how to manage pain. First, pain should always be treated right away. A delay allows pain to get worse.
Second, you should not be afraid of becoming addicted to pain medicine. If medicines are used in the right way under close supervision of a healthcare provider, this is rarely a problem. Of course, if you believe that you are losing control of how you are using pain medicines, you should discuss this with your healthcare provider right away.
Third, most pain problems can be controlled by using the World Health Organization's step-care approach”:http://www.

P.S:
The opium poppy can be cultivated only in such tracts as are notified by the Government. At present these tracts are confined to three States,viz. Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Mandsaur district of Madhya Pradesh and Chittorgarh and Jhalawar Districts of Rajasthan constitute about 80% of the total area:

“Uncertain future in a sea of poppies:Three districts in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan together contribute to 80% of India’s opium production. Already facing the problem of stagnant procurement rates and rising input prices, farmers are now angry with the Union government for opening opium production and processing to private players. A.M.

When Sunder Bai’s husband, Shiv Narayan, died during the COVID-19 pandemic, she inherited 1 square kilometre of land and his licence to cultivate opium. She lives with her daughter and son in a village near Nayagaon in Neemuch district on the Madhya-Pradesh Rajasthan border. “Both my children, who are graduates, support and help me in this profession,” says Bai. “We employ four or five people to cultivate opium and extract opium gum.”
Bai’s son Anil, 25, who holds a degree in physics, has decided not to find a job and instead help his mother on the farm. Opium cultivation is known as swabhiman ki kheti (agriculture of dignity) in the Mewar region that is spread across Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. There is so much pride in the age-old trade that a saying in this area goes, “Afeem aur aulat barabar (poppy plants and children deserve similar treatment)”. While farmers in Madhya Pradesh call the crop afeem, a name which finds its origin in Persia, the community in Rajasthan calls it amal (pure). https://www.thehindu.com/sci-
