Reminds me of a 20 hectare crop of Calabrian mafia grown, horticulturally master-cultured, pot the aussie cops busted to great fanfare back in the 80's.
(Something went wrong with usual arrangements when a local politician blew the whistle on the local cops "close working relationship" with the local wine-making fraternity)

The first crop shots on TV showed giant colas sitting on the end of every branch of every 8 foot high perfect xmas tree.
two days later, the bonfire shots showed the trees on fire - but without a single head to be seen.

(and the pollie was murdered a few weeks later)

To think many countries went legal, also a few are growing crops for pharmaceuticals, medically it has a proven purpose. But in most of these articles of police destroying crops, its low grade grass, where are the red plants of past years, and now the European cross grades?

What a waste of man power.

The real enemy of Khmer youth is this meth shit, yabba/yamma/ice whatever the term is.

I don't see KTV raids with a bunch of high schoolers sitting around a bunch of weed bongs and joints. It's always ice.

Once again, Khmer police doing shit back-asswards.

But thank god, the scourge of ditch-weed and sexy Facebook brazier sellers has been quashed.

It seems such a waste as they are supposed to be looking into legalising medical here and the possibilities of growing and producing oil etc... for export.
