Albanian "cannabis kingdom" village under police siege

"12 members of a group that on Wednesday morning opened fire at the Albanian police, killing one officer and wounding two others, have been arrested."

I feel sorry for them. They couldn't escape to Kosovo, where they would have been awarded with a honorary medal in the university of Pristina.

"The village of Lazarat". Balkans Sillicon valley of drug producing.

4,5 billion euros is half the albanias gdp.They must've surpassed afganistan and this country wants to enter the eu.

If it was some type of synthetic drug that was a global issue, I would understand. But weed? Big deal! I hope that the authorities recognize that this plant can actually help sick people and perhaps permit those people to have it instead of destroying it all. There are already several states in the US that have legalized CBD/THC for medical purposes. With the Balkans having poor economies, this would legalization could provide a good boost as well.

Good job to the special forces..
And i feel really bad for the guy who lost his life..
And i want to thank very much my government, who is fighting against the drug traffics.
I have read the comment below and i want to tell to all : Nobody here is so "pure" to talk or to judge us..
But, i have no problem : Who choose to "fight" will be judged...
You just continue to "sleep", and just see us...

They are helping poor very sick cancerous riddled Greece get over this very painful difficult time. Now that the Serbs learned of this and money to be made. They will usurp Albanians Doctor, pharmacist and health conscious organic farmers of cannabis position just you watch and see.

In Albania what is the maximum penalty for slaying a police officer would it be the death penalty or life imprisonment without the possibility of parole?

Is there movement to legalize this drug in Albania?
I say a drug which makes people mellow should be encouraged among Albanians. And yet, people who've visited there say the air is thick with the scent, and despite this the people there are very violent. Maybe cannabis does't work on the Albanian temper.
