On 11 September 2026 the Bayi district criminal-investigation detachment of
Nyingchi police, with a local police station and a village work team, confirmed
wild cannabis after a public tip about plants near Baji Village in the Tibet
Autonomous Region.[1]
Officers uprooted more than 100 plants root and stem, registered them, and sent
the material for regulated destruction, the Linzhi public security bureau said.[1] They then searched nearby slopes, farmland and ditches and reported finding
no further plants.[1] The notice warned that even wild cannabis may not be
picked or kept.[1]
A later Linzhi municipal release on 30 September said three schoolchildren in
Baji Village spotted wild cannabis, reported it to police and the village work
team, and joined a community uprooting before being awarded “little anti-drug
guardian” certificates.[2] That piece does not repeat the 11 September count
or say whether it describes the same patch.[2]
No cultivator was identified and no arrests were announced.[1][2]

- The police notice counts “more than 100” plants (100余株); the stored plants_destroyed figure uses 100 as a conservative minimum.
- The municipal follow-up on 30 September highlights three schoolchildren who reported wild cannabis in Baji Village but does not repeat the 11 September plant total or say explicitly whether it is the same stand as the police tip-off.
- No arrests are reported; wild plants were destroyed with no named cultivator.
