After the fall of Lazarat, the map of cannabis cultivation expanded even further in the north of Albania, with two traditional areas, Dukagjin and Krujë.
Experts say the reason is impunity.
Precisely by singling out corruption as a cause of inefficiency in the national strategy, it was requested to review and strengthen the control of the personality of state officials, charged with the duty against narcotics and at all their levels to verify the wealth, especially of those who were rumored about the records problematic and their connections with the incriminated persons. It was also analyzed whether, during their duties, they had succeeded or not in the fight against cannabis. Three years after the deadline of this strategy, there is no result on the assigned tasks.
" The consequence is that, since we were and are cannabis growers, here it could be found very cheaply, as if oregano was sold, and this accessible to all young people, in all schools, and could be tried for the first time by a person who did not have a lot of income, since from all the recent statistics that have been made, a dose of hashish, or a bag of hashish, cost 500 new lek, which could have three or four cigarettes inside, making three or four young people together with this inflation of 500 new lek which is almost felt by everyone.
This gave the possibility that even those who do not have a long history or CV in narcotics, could reenter this path and could try this adventure as it could be called by their former friends. When cannabis is cultivated, who less and who more, who can get a loan, as we have had and a case where an elderly person approached the banks, orienting them as if he were making an investment in refurbishing the house and then he invested all the loan he took in cultivating a plot of cannabis. There are also many cases that abuse the ages of persons who are already under criminal responsibility, placing them before the law ", says lawyer Bledar Meminaj.
" If they had arrested me, I would have eaten a bite of bread and I would have been more comfortable. If he had taken me to prison, I would have been comfortable, the young woman with the old man, if the state would give us bread, there is no one here who gives me bread. But they didn't ask me, I fear for God. I don't blame them because that's the job they have, with that they raise their own toads. I blame them for writing that it was in the boy's yard. They have done wrong with him, but come on, they know it themselves. There is no one to come out, they have to punish him, there is no lawyer either. He said I am a lawyer myself, I speak for myself, the lawyer wants money. We have nothing else to report, he planted it, he has 100 meters of land, he planted it for reasons of his own health to undergo an operation ", says Bege Xhaferri, whose husband is in prison.
Isak Vrapi was supposed to finish his higher studies, but last year he changed his path. He cultivated cannabis and is now in prison as a convict, where he has time to analyze where he went wrong, but also where they went wrong with him.
"This was the fastest opportunity to make two lek and wash off the debts, it was not that I had a passion for drugs or another crime all my life. My passion was to finish school, get my degree and start a job like everyone else. A quiet job so that I could be close to family and society. I ordered the hashish seeds online by mail, so I didn't mess with people at all, and they came to order. I bought almost 200 seeds, they cost approximately 400-500 euros and I had those lek from emigrating abroad. I made up the land so that no one owned it because I didn't want to hurt people. I call on Ulsi Manja to listen to this story as well. My father is sick, I have a blind man who loves a man behind and he has no opportunity to work. When my father was arrested because we were both arrested that day, I told the officers, father has no hand in this, I did it. If you want to deal, get me. Look at the condition of the father, if you think that he has committed this kind of crime, you can take him or you can find evidence. Justice with evidence speaks with facts. Without evidence and facts, no one gets inside", confesses Isa Vrapi, convicted of cannabis cultivation.
" Unfortunately, sometimes we also feel regret when we accompany that peasant, but criminal responsibility does not differentiate between the one who is poor and the one who plants on the terrace. Everyone becomes regretful, the responsibility of a major mistake involves them, because they know what penalties await them, so we have the sensitizing phase, but this sometimes falls on deaf ears", says the head of anti-drugs, Rezart Velmishti
" More or less, the economic reason dominates, but they also exploit others. We also have mentally ill people who were brought here, they were exploited and now they are convict cultivators. We treat them as sick. There are also their family members who use them ", confirms Kolë Kukaj, director of Rrogozhinë prison. /TCH
