People's Procuratorate of Chaoyang District, Beijing has charged a post-80s man surnamed Huang and a Malaysian with growing marijuana in Huairou district of Beijing.

Huang, who majored in agriculture and forestry, was in charge of planting marijuana; the Malaysian helped processing after the marijuana got mature and sold them in Chaoyang district.

After graduating from college, Huang rented 20 mu of agricultural land in Huairou district to grow crops. In October 2014, Huang got to know the Malaysian through a friend. Because of their experience in growing marijuana, the two decided to be partners for the marijuana “business”. The quality of the first batch of marijuana they grew was insufficient because the marijuana grew outdoors.

In 2015, in order to improve the quality of the marijuana, Huang and the Malaysian built a greenhouse. From March to October 2015, the Malaysian had been selling marijuana for 200 yuan per gram.

Though growing and selling marijuana is allowed in countries like the Netherlands and Spain, it is illegal to grow or sell it in China.
