The domestic drug problem is serious, and Taitung police cracked the first marijuana cultivation case in Green Island. Like marijuana, which is listed as a second-level drug, in addition to the existing coca, amphetamines, MDMA, etc., the Ministry Of Justice decided to upgrade the third-level drug etomidate to a second-level drug control after a drug review today (14th). The Executive Yuan also approved that an additional 15 billion yuan will be invested in anti-drug work in the next four years. The initial plan is to detoxify, accounting for 51% of the total; followed by anti-drug control, which also accounts for 34%.
The door of the container house was pried open, and the plants inside were filled with plants. After testing, they were all marijuana. The converted market value exceeded one million yuan. The police uncovered the first marijuana cultivation case in Green Island, Taitung.
YEH,MING-CHUNG, captain of the Taitung County Criminal Division, said, “Why did they choose the Green Island area? There are often foreigners living on Green Island, and there are not many police personnel deployed on the outlying islands of Taitung County.”
His whole body was covered with airtight clothes. He was the man named Jiang involved in the case. He set up shop in the local area and also dealt in drugs.
Like marijuana, it is classified as a second-level drug, and coca, amphetamines, and MDMA are also common. On the 14th, the Ministry of Justice upgraded etomidate from Level 3 to Level 2 control following the decision of the Drug Review Committee.
HUANG,SHIH-CHIEH, Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, said, “In the future, we will follow the procedures and send a letter to the Executive Yuan to make a formal announcement. Simply possessing and using it will also constitute a criminal act.”
Zombie drug control has been intensified, and the Executive Yuan has also approved the “New Generation Anti-Drug Strategy Action Plan 3.0”. An additional 15 billion yuan will be invested in the next four years, with drug treatment accounting for the largest proportion of 51%; anti-drug treatment also accounts for 34%.
The reporter asked, “The Government has allocated an additional tens of billions of dollars to fight against drugs. Does it have a more specific planning direction?”
Justice Minister CHENG,MING-CHIEN responded, “Thank you.”
Minister of Justice CHENG,MING-CHIEN did not say much about how to plan the anti-drug campaign if tens of billions are invested.
At present, an average of more than 40,000 people are caught using drugs in China every year, and the number of first-time drug addicts is more than 8,000. Now the government’s anti-drug campaign has set four major goals: blocking supply and demand, reducing drug harm, stabilizing recovery, and inhibiting recidivism. Whether the harm of drugs can be effectively blocked in response to the ever-changing patterns of drug use and drug trafficking.
Wang Po-Chi, associate professor at the Department of Criminal Justice at Ming Chuan University, believes that, “In addition to the traditional investigative thinking in the past, the skills in network patrol may need to be improved simultaneously. Investigative technology really needs to keep pace with the times, especially for the Internet. Such a so-called investigation.”
TAN,HSI-HSIEN, president of the detoxification center, believes, “Then we will use medical treatment first, and then enter the prison model if it is really no longer possible. So why is it ineffective? There is no real system or a very good model to assist drug detoxification.
In the face of drug chaos, experts suggest that the first priority is drug addiction treatment, and the right methods must be used to reduce the recidivism rate of drug use. Scholars also reminded of the importance of prevention at the source, using education to eliminate the new population of drugs, and law enforcement agencies must keep pace with the times.
