    What happens to the seized marijuana? Do they burn/incinerate it?

      No. When SDS is in charge, they resell it at higher prices.

        Do any of them smoke it themselves you think?
        I’m also doubting the Albanians really closed down that town (Lazarat?) devoted to growing marijuana. I’ve read that the Albanians sell marijuana and use the proceeds to buy heroin and cocaine. And then they sell the cocaine in The Netherlands and Britain.
