Seventy-two-year-old zhao has 180 plantsPoppyIf you want to cure the brain clot, you'll get sickDetentionTen days. This is a sad thing, but the law doesn't know the face of it and the cure is never a shield against the law。
Where was it
On 8 june 2026, a 72-year-old zhao lao-hang stood at the door of his home and was blinded by photographs taken by police officers of the grand peak police station. In the small vegetable field in front of his door, 180 poppy plants were counted and eradicated, and the entire area was emptied with pits and pits, and he was forced to stand by and watch。
Old zhao han, an old resident of grand peak town, brought some poppy seeds from the northeast last fall and threw them in front of the door. He thought it was just a few weeds, so he could drink some juice, and he didn't think about the word "illegal."。
Why does he think opium poppy can cure the disease
Old zhao has a brain hemorrhage and has spent a lot of money on treatment alone over the past year, but the results have been delayed. He listened to the civilian side and said that poppy juice had the ability to communicate bruises and had a supportive effect on the brain hemorrhage. And with the idea that it was better to try than not, he buried the seeds in the ground, working for half a year。
Last fall, when seeds were planted, the opium poppy continued to grow this spring. Zhao han is crouching on the ground every day to observe the situation, hoping that he will grow a sprout for tea. The civilian police arrived before the harvest, and he could not even get a sip of juice。
What did you do at the scene
When the civilian police arrives, they take a picture of the evidence, which is then eliminated and counted. Old zhao started to panic and said, "i didn't know it was illegal to plant the smoke." a total of 180 opium poppy plants have been counted on the ground and the threshold of 500 criminal cases has not been met。
In the face of a civilian police inquiry, zhao became aware that he had committed a crime. His attitude was co-opted and recognized quickly, and he suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage in late july. He was educated critically at the scene by the civilian police, who told him that the cultivation of opium poppy was completely different from that of vegetables。
What was the last punishment
On 4 june, the police station of kiryushan approved the decision to impose a penalty of 10 days ' administrative detention on zhao laohan. Taking into account that he is 72 years old and suffers from a cerebral hemorrhage, the penalty of not sending him to a detention centre is equivalent to 10 days of "touching" at home。
The result was not serious, but the record of administrative violations had been dropped. If zhao has no fault, no cooperation, or if there are more than 500 opium poppy, then it is not a matter of detention and goes directly to criminal proceedings with very different consequences。
What exactly is the law
The policing administration punishments act states clearly:Illicit cultivationIf the poppy is under 500, it is punishable by detention for 10 to 15 days and a fine of up to $3,000; if the case is less serious, by detention for up to 5 days or a fine of up to $500. Zhao's 180 units fall within the medium punishment zone。
Once the number of cultivation exceeds 500, the nature of the plant changes completely, directly triggering article 151 of the criminal code, “crimes involving the illicit cultivation of narcotic plants”, facing imprisonment, detention or control for up to three years, as well as a fine. From security cases to criminal offences, there are only 320 separate cases。
It's an easily ignored exemption rule
There is also a provision in the law that is not known to many: illicit cultivation of opium poppy or other drug plants is not punishable if they are eradicated before they mature. In other words, if you grow yourself, find yourself wrong, pull it clean, and the law will not hold you responsible。
Zhao han didn't go this way. He did not destroy himself, nor did he take the initiative to report to the village or the police station, but waited for the civilian police to come to the door before being exposed. This rule reminds everyone that it is better to plant something that should not be planted, to pull it first hand than to wait for someone to take care of you。
Is there anyone around you who's using the square as a life-saving straw? If you want to plant it, if you know it's against the law, do you think it's a good idea?
