A 71-year-old man from Krosno, Poland, is facing serious legal consequences after police discovered 1.2 kilograms of marijuana and several cannabis plants in his home. The man has been charged with possessing a significant amount of narcotics and cultivating cannabis illegally, crimes that could land him up to 10 years in prison under Polish law.

The arrest followed an investigation by local authorities, who received a tip-off about potential illegal activity in the man’s residence. Upon conducting a search of the property, officers uncovered the sizable quantity of marijuana and live cannabis plants. The case is being treated as particularly serious due to the volume of drugs involved.

Police Investigation and Evidence

According to the police, the seized drugs included both processed marijuana and plants in various stages of growth. The discovery of 1.2 kilograms of marijuana is considered substantial, significantly surpassing what is typically deemed a “small amount” under Polish legal standards. Additionally, the fact that the suspect was actively cultivating cannabis suggests the drugs were likely intended for distribution rather than personal use.

The senior citizen, whose identity has not been disclosed, was immediately taken into custody and questioned. He has since been charged with possession and cultivation of narcotics, with prosecutors pushing for harsh penalties given the amount of drugs involved.

Consequences Under Polish Law

Poland’s drug laws are strict, with penalties for possession and cultivation of narcotics varying based on the quantity of drugs and the nature of the offense. In cases where large quantities of drugs are involved, as in this instance, the law allows for sentences of up to 10 years in prison. Possession of smaller amounts can result in milder sentences, but large-scale cultivation and trafficking attract severe consequences.

Authorities in Krosno have stated that this case is an example of their commitment to cracking down on illegal drug operations, regardless of the offender’s age or background. They emphasize that marijuana cultivation remains illegal in Poland, despite growing discussions across Europe about the decriminalization and legalization of cannabis.

Growing Cannabis Debate

While this case reinforces Poland’s tough stance on drug enforcement, it also comes at a time when cannabis laws are being reconsidered across Europe. Although some countries have moved toward decriminalization or legalization for medical use, Poland maintains stringent controls, and this case highlights the risks of cultivating or possessing cannabis in the country.
