Based on the priorities of the 2016 Government Program and the European Commission, a strategy has been drawn up to address this issue in a coordinated and comprehensive manner. Drug cultivation is a serious threat to the country’s security and undermines public order. In recent years, the cultivation of narcotic plants has increased and taken organized forms. The purpose of this document is to strike at the phenomenon of cannabis cultivation in Albania and strengthen the state mechanisms against it. The year 1997 was one of the peaks. Cannabis cultivation has had a long history in our country, but especially after the 1990s it became a profitable activity. Starting from Lazarat and later in other areas, this phenomenon expanded and linked the interests of criminal groups with local corruption. Esiona Konomi PAGES 2-3
