A police officer from Takeo province yesterday reported the burning of about 180,000 marijuana plants found in more than two dozen locations during a two-day operation last week.

 

Major Sok Sopha, chief of Kiri Vong district police’s anti-drug section, said a team of police officers from 12 communes – led by district police chief Colonel Yuk Sarath – chopped down marijuana plants in over 24 locations in Preah Bat Choan Chum commune on Saturday. “We cut a total of 180,367 marijuana plants and burned them on the spot,” Maj Sopha said. “We also found and destroyed 15 ponds near marijuana plantations used to supply water for the plants.”

 

He said the marijuana was planted on a one-hectare mountainside hidden from the authorities. “We did not arrest any suspects – they escaped before we arrived,” Maj Sopha said, noting police surveyed suspected marijuana plantations at night and raids were conducted during the daytime.

These are the role models we need. Burn everything and pollute the air even more.

Don’t worry. The soot eventually settles out.  And rain also eventually washes the soot out of the air and it becomes fertilizer. Just as it’s been doing since fires began on this planet.

I am interested in what Catoni said about the soot.

 

This could also be said of the soot and smoke from rice fields, sugar cane fields, etc.

 

Pity the rains are not here yet to clear the air.

Don't hold your breath. On second thoughts, with the rainy season months away, probably better if you do!

Composting it would have made better fertilizer. 

And when will the rain actually come?
