The rules are: you find it, you smoke it, you regret it.

You do NOT want to mess with drugs of any kind in a foreign country!!! The atitude is definitely not permissive here and you can wind up in more trouble than a high is worth!!!!

Do not buy drugs here, do not bring them into the country. If you can't get high on this beautiful country, its perfect weather and its celebration of life than stay home and get wasted...

Default six months jail dude!

Johna,

This country has an unusual strict policy on even "soft drugs". It's ironic that at least a third of Cocain consumed in the US goes through the DR.

Default Re: Any good pot to smoke there? The Law

Drug Penalties in the DR Jim Hinsch -- Tuesday, 11 August 1998, at 12:23 a.m.

According to the La Cotica National Tourism Guide of the Dominican Republic, reviewed and authorized by the Ministry of Tourism, Edition 13, 1996/1997 (email at La.Cotica@pobox.com, phone 809-566-0051), Page 28:

Law 50-88 states the following:

... For simple posession, a fine of 300 to 1000 pesos or imprisonment of 6 months to a year, or both. There is no bail. ... When the drug confiscated or involved in the operation falls under the category of Distribuor or Seller, the penalty is 500 to 5000 pesos and imprisonment for 2-5 years. There is no bail. ... When the drug confiscated or involved in the operation falls under the category of Trafficker, the penalty is 50,000 pesos and 3-10 years of forced labor. There is no bail. ...

This law applies to Opium, derivatives, Coca, Cocaine, derivatives or any compound in which it is used as a base, all plants in the Cannabis family, and other herbs with similar properties ...

I was told that the sentences are often exceeded due to the time one must wait in jail before getting a trial or hearing.

Well, looks like someone wants to fly high full speed ahead. I hope this question is just a joke to add a little humor to the message board once in a while. If not, drugs aren't the way to go Johna.
