PDEA Cordillera spokeswoman Tessie Sarmiento said the eradication operations were conducted March 4 to 7 in 26 areas in Kibungan.

* Marijuana is a dangerous drug. And some people are using this drug, and become addicted to it. And it's not healthy because they use this form of drug because they thought it would relieve them of their problem and worries which is definitely not true. And in worst cases, they could harm other people. So, this kind of drug needs to be destroyed.*
