|title=Farmer released after 89 marijuana plants found growing among herbs in Pailin
|summary=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.
