Khankaysky district court in Primorsky Krai sentenced two local men to 10
and 11 years in strict-regime penal colonies after investigators proved they
had prepared a large batch of wild cannabis for hash-oil production, the
Primorye Interior Ministry said on 12 December 2025.[1] The court found them
guilty under part 3 of article 30 and part 3 of article 228 of the Criminal
Code.[1]
Investigators established that in September of the previous year the men, aged
38 and 51, harvested cannabis tops near the village of Komissarovo in
Khankaysky district.[1] They used one man’s quad bike to move sacks and dried
the material in open fields, planning to make hash oil.[2] Regional FSB
officers stopped them during the harvesting and seized sacks weighing more than
100 kilograms together with dozens of plastic containers of precursors.[1]
The judgment has entered into force according to the regional police
statement relayed by both outlets.[1]
