Farmer released after 89 marijuana plants found growing among herbs in Pailin

Sala Krao district police and village security guards found 89 marijuana plants around the home of Miel Pun (54) in O'Andong commune, Pailin, after a local tip-off. Fewer than 20 plants were mature; three were already harvested and dried. The cannabis was intercropped with citronella, herbs, and bamboo bushes. Pun admitted growing for personal use "for a long time" and sharing with young villagers who smoked with him, drawing complaints from their parents. Police seized the plants, two pipes, a knife, and a chopping board used for processing. Pun was sent to the provincial police station but released the next day after signing an agreement not to plant marijuana again.
