It's clear to all readers they mean opium products, this isn't what peer review would focus on.

Also seems like a commonly used translation in India:

That's the thing that really made me wonder. Peer review implies reviewed by multiple people, a review committee. Between the authors and the committee, multiple people read this and said it was ok.

Thanks for the link. If thats the commonly used translation there, then that makes much more sense, and I see why they went with it. Learned something new today.
