Stoned Circles in Crops In Tasmania

Tasmania is the world’s largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical market.

About 500 farmers grow the crop supplying the market with about 50 per cent of the world’s raw material for morphine and related opiates.

The problem is that wild life and sometimes sheep get into the paddocks growing the opium poppies and eat poppy heads.  All walk round in circles but wallabies, a small version of a kangaroo, get into the crops and jump around in circles creating crop circles with their tails the poor things as they increasingly hop in circles eating the poppy heads and squashing the plants.

The security of Tasmania’s poppy stocks, are considered some of the safest in the world.
