In Turkey it is not difficult to come to cannabis. Say just one of the local population and you will be redirected. The question is always: Where does it come from?
From such a province in eastern Turkey near the Iranian border, where police last week was a record catch. The harvest was confiscated and destroyed. The plants were about 50 tonnes of hashish and must provide a street value would have had almost 25 million euros.
The operation started last week, after reports of 'cannabis in the mountains outside the village Hasanbey in the province of Van. After the discovery of hundreds of soldiers arrived at the plantation and began to destroy the plants. The operation lasted five days and more than 2 trillion plants were destroyed.
In South-East Turkey is widely cultivated cannabis. Through the mountains it is easier to circumvent the law. The province of Van is also a route of heroin smugglers.
