Weed in the Dominican Republic?

Is it legal over there? And can any one send me any links about the laws & customs of Punta Cana?


Don't even think of it. The DR has a zero tolerance policy on all drugs, even soft ones such as pot. If you are caught with even a small amount you go directly to jail and will sit in a hellhole of a Dominican prison for who knows how many months or years and spend thousands of dollars to get out. An edit. Iamachef must be smoking some himself. It isn'tt hat drugs aren't available but again don't get involved. People turn in users and sellers, tourists or residents. A friend Stuart an American guy who owned the restaurant Otro Mundo near Playa Dorada spent months in jail when he was falsly accused of being involved with pot. TheDR subscribes to the Napoleonic code not only in civil matters but also criminal, you are guilty until you prove your innocence. By the way, prostitution is neith legal nor illegal enforcement is really up to the local police chief and depends who is paying him off. You never want to be involved with the authorities in the DR, it is too costly to get out of jail, bribery is rampant in the country.
