Malana, Himachalpradesh, India
One of the villagers spoke up saying that the police plays a double game. In one hand they smoke cannabis and yet they are the ones who burn our fields. Another local villager said that sometimes the police and fellow village residents work together. Someone from the village informs the police about the customer. The police seize the hashish, give it back to the informer (even smoke themselves up) and they impose heavy fine on the customer.The Indian government recently openly declared cannabis plantation as illegal and that it is something that would simply put an end to the youth of the country. And, therefore, the government and police believe that by burning the plantations they are keeping the flow of the drug in check. As a result, villages now farm in small fields and most of them have shifted to the interior of the village where no police can reach.
