Nymburk detectives charged a 31-year-old man in early October 2026 with growing cannabis for his own use at his home in quantities far above the legal limit.[1] Police said he kept more than 50 plants there, many times the three plants Czech law allows a person to grow for personal use.[1]
According to the police account, he grew the marijuana for several months in an indoor grow he set up in the attic of his house in the Nymburk district.[1] During a search of the house, officers seized 52 cannabis plants, already dried cannabis and the complete grow room.[1] The equipment included LED lighting, fans, a hydroponic plastic tray with an irrigation system, and pumps and hoses to distribute and circulate water.[1]
Police found no evidence that he sold cannabis to anyone.[2] He was charged with the unauthorised growing of a plant or mushroom containing a narcotic or psychotropic substance, and other handling of it, for personal use, an offence that carries up to three years in prison.[1]
