From what I have read marijuana is illegal in DR, and medical marijuana is completely out of the question. I know some Caribbean countries are very strict with their drug laws on citizens, yet the tourist drug trade is abundant like Jamaica for instance. Last time I was in the Dominican I was offered cocaine many times while on the resort. I'm not a hard drug user, I'm a second generation hippy on a holiday. I also not looking to end up in a negative situation while away, and I don't want any trouble. Is the general consensus that marijuana is a hard drug in DR, and any sort of asking locals, will only lead to problems, and issues? Are police actively looking for marijuana buyers and sellers? Do local Dominicans smoke marijuana, or is it generally frowned at in the community, I don't want to offend someone by asking them if I decide to.
sorry if this post violates the terms, I'm just trying to figure out where the DR stands between cuba(better chance swimming to FL then finding herb) and Jamaica ( I was being offered herb on the bus before i even got to the hotel) if it matters, I'm a Canadian card holding medical user for Chron's and IBS.
