inside were 77 handmade marijuana cigarettes weighing about 190 grams together.[1]Police put the preliminary commercial value of the marijuana at about

Reaction Unit (URI, the duty office that receives detainees caught in the act)
on suspicion of trafficking, manufacturing or carrying narcotics.[1]The
