Police detained a 39-year-old resident of the village of Dyadkovo who had made marijuana at home.[1] Officers seized 13 packs of marijuana with a total weight of 1,018 grams from his one-room flat.[2] The marijuana had been vacuum-sealed in polyethylene bags with a vacuum sealer.[2]

Officers also found a growbox and containers in the flat in which the man had previously grown cannabis and made it into marijuana.[2] At the moment of detention the man was under the influence of drugs.[1] Because his behaviour showed signs of a mental disorder, police handed him over to medical workers.[1] He is now undergoing examination in a psychiatric hospital.[1]

An investigator opened a criminal case under part 2 of Article 228 for illegal acquisition, manufacture and storage of drugs on a large scale.[2] The offence carries up to 10 years’ imprisonment.[3]
