(Nationwide)Illegal hemp cultivation in the mountains…Arrest of two people per day.

The Sejong police’s violent drug crimes unit said it arrested two people, including a man in his 50s, for secretly growing and storing hemp in the mountains.

They are accused of growing hemp for 67 weeks in the hills of Mount Unjusan in Sejong and Gongju in Chungcheongnam-do over the past six months, harvesting some of it and storing it in kimchi refrigerators.

They secretly grow hemp by cultivating land deep in the mountains, where there is no human trafficking.

Police said they seized KRW 340 million worth of hemp, including 67 weeks of hemp, 2.3 kilograms of dried hemp leaves and 57 grams of seeds, and are continuing to investigate the seller.
