Where I come from, 11 plants and three ounces of weed doesn't equal "a plantation". We call that an in home grow-op.

Journalistic embellishment DR style, I suspect.

you're not back home. here plus 20 grams of marijuana is classified as distribuidor/vender with 3 to 10 years of jail time.

Fine for laying charges related to distribution, but I think even a Dominican understands the difference between a plantation and a herb garden.

Where I come from this would land you 10 years in Florida State Prison.

We all know that drug offenses here are taken very seriously... maybe out of proportion

perhaps ' out of proportion' to some is different to others...

but -- roll with it

it is what it is............

My comment really wasn't about the offense but the use of the word plantation by the press. I just found that word to be a misrepresentation of the facts but perhaps my worldly view/vocabulary doesn't translate well into Spanish.

How many plants does that translate to?

11 plants equals 3 ounces, thus X amount of plants equals Y grams?

Someone snitched on her.

Depending on the strain and the growing and trimming experience of the individual, a properly cultivated cannabis plant(a female)can yield up to 16 ounces. Those plants were either immature or the grower had been clipping the buds to consume and make the oil(probablyCBD)found on the premises.

How readily available are vape cartridges?
They look and smell as harmless as E Cig cartridges.
I am sure these are around, as E Cigs seem to be quite popular.

in this case i was only referring to the ready product found in her place (73 grams). i do not know how do they treat possession of plants but it's very possible it will push the sentence towards the higher end.

Having the final product would make one a user, and having the plants a producer/distributor?

Im dominican and all, but its really stupid to come to a foreign third world country you obviously know nothing about and do ILLEGAL things, especially things that have to do with drugs....

Now she's gonna experience what living in a third world prison cell will be like.. I honestly feel bad for her, but people think life is a joke sometimes, until reality hits, and it hits HARD.

Now she can hang out with those Rastas that got busted a couple of years ago on the north coast I think it was.
Now they can exchange ideas. ;)

This is such a shame! Meanwhile corrupt politicians/cops/military go around like nothing happened, and the rest of us/them get drunk with legal booze.
Cannabis has to be 100% legal, thank you Uruguay, Jamaica & Canada for leading the way!
DR will follow because we always follow whatever's trendy.
