If you get caught.. you'll be throught hell.... drink a lot... it is legal... everywhere... leave the pot for hawaii... I'm just telling you... but if you find who sells it... smoke the shit out of it... and dont carry it...hide it.. there is plenty of bushes...

Re: what about marijuana
To put this in proper perspective for you as some on the board would say...I think it would be easier to get out of a murder charge on this island than a drug charge! I am serious as a heart attack! If illegal drugs are your scene, this is NOT the island for you. I am not saying that it does not exist, only that the consequences are very severe if caught. And, if you are IN COMPANY of someone doing drugs, you are carted off to jail and charged also as an accessory of sorts. Not sure what the actual law charge is.

Re: what about marijuana
Dude, the drug laws are draconian. You get caught, or set up, you go to jail and may not go to trial for a long time to tell your sad tale. Grass can be found, but it is VERY expensive. If you want to smoke a whole lot, go to Jamaica or something.

We already have a few problems with people doing drugs over there, we do not want anymore. That's why the laws in the DR are very tough when it comes to that. That is what NY and big cities in general should do too, in order to avoid drug problems in the society. This is just an opinion.

Re: what about marijuana
Don't even think of it, drug laws on the island are ruthless, no quarter is given if you are caught in possession or even framed. Jail time on the island is hell.
If you are caught, don't expect help from home. Your are on your own.
Your best bet is to enjoy the many other fine and wholesome activities the people and the D.R. offers.

Re: Marijuana
Save your moral recommendations. Using marijuana does not ruin countries, as can be seen in those countries where it is legal.
Yes, marijuana is available. I'm sure you already know it is illegal. It is sold on beaches, in the bars, and on the street.
It is significantly more risky than in Caribbean countries like Jamaica because it is not as popular, most of it is imported, and the drug laws are more heavily enforced, even though the laws are equally strict in Jamaica. As in many countries, often the dealers are in with the police and you can fall victim to a setup and extortion. Buyer beware.
Even speaking about drugs in the DR can get you into trouble. It will cause poeple to be afraid to be around you, the fact that you use drugs may be repeated as gossip, and you may find that you are being watched. The police can and will break into your hotel room and search it if they suspect drugs. You can be arrested just for being with somebody in posession of illegal drugs.
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 ...
It is common for one to sit in jail longer than the potential sentence, just waiting for a hearing (years). Friends tell me that the typical cost of a foreigner to pay their way out of prison on a simple drug charge is US$20,000, can take a year or more, and is followed by deportation, after which, future visits to the island are not allowed.
