A field of marijuana was found in the Eccles Backdam, East Bank Demerara during a Joint Services Operation conducted in the area on Sunday afternoon.

According to a police press release the field is approximately ¼ of an acre and contained 120 marijuana plants which were between one and five feet in height. The ranks also discovered a quantity of dried marijuana in a camp.

Both the camp and the plants were destroyed, the release said. A man has since been taken into custody and charges are to be laid shortly.

    What Is This Some Kind Of Joke? “GANJA FIELD FOUND AT ECCLES” Even The Boys Scout Could Do That, We Need To See Headlines Like “FINEMAN & SKINNY CAPTURED/KILLED” That Would Be Impressive To Say The Least. They Can’t Catch A Thief Redhanded Much Less Heavily Armed Fugitives, For The Last Two Months There Were Quite A Few Headlines About Murders During Or After Indulging In Alcohol, One Headline Read :- “Man Killed By Brother After Drinking Alcohol”, Another One Read:- “Man Rapes 9yr Old Girl After Drinking Alcohol With His Neighbours”, Not One Of These Crimes Were Linked To GANJA Yet The Police Are Treating Ganja/Marijuana Like The Biggest Demon In Guyana, I Know From Experience That You Are More Humble Under The Influence Of Marijuana Compared To Alcohol But One Must Still know Their Limits And Don’t Over Indulge !!!
