“Those marijuana plants, [the owner] planted them on his land as medication for his cattle. He planted only a small amount as he and his family did not understand the law,” district police chief Vorng Saveth said, adding that police confiscated a total of 67 marijuana plants.
He added that the grower, Meas Dy, was merely asked to sign a contract agreeing never to plant the illegal substance again.
Mr. Saveth said district police had been cracking down on marijuana plantations over the past few years and had so far destroyed four plantations, with 7,637 plants in Rokat commune alone in May 2015...

The irony. More wanton destruction of the evil weed that must not be used for medicinal purposes due to the fact that some far off country declared a "war on drugs" many moons ago. And of course they know best. And they are changing their minds. But someone forgot to send a memo to village policemen in Cambodia.
More than 50 marijuana plants were destroyed on Saturday morning in Battambang province’s Sangker district by police, who said the owner also agreed never to grow the plant again.
