Kankan Authorities Indian Hemp

Authorities in the Kankan region, Guinea, have seized and destroyed a large quantity of harmful drugs and substances, including Indian hemp, expired pharmaceuticals and tramadol, as part of ongoing efforts to protect public health.

The items were incinerated at the Kobikoro landfill in Balandou under the supervision of the Kankan governor, Colonel Moussa Condé.

800 kg of Indian hemp, 125 kg of expired pharmaceuticals—including amodiaquine and hydrocolloids—and 135 packets of tramadol here in Kobikoro were incinerated. According to Prosecutor Marwane Baldé, dangerous health products seized will always be destroyed in this manner.

I want to assure you that each time products dangerous to health are seized, they will be incinerated, Baldé said.

Dr. Fafodé Condé, the Director of Health in Kankan, expressed satisfaction with the exercise, saying:

These products unfit for human health that you see were used to poison the population. They have absolutely no therapeutic value. On the contrary, they are real poisons. This is, therefore, an opportunity for me to thank all the authorities for this outcome.

Governor Condé commended the initiative, and more destructions will be made to safeguard public health.

The destruction of these harmful drugs shows the government’s commitment to public health, as Indian hemp abuse, along with expired and unregulated drugs, poses severe risks to mental and physical health.

By incinerating these harmful products, authorities are taking a strong stand to safeguard the community and prevent potential harm to the population.
