EL NUEVO DIARIO, PUERTO PLATA.- Agents from the National Drug Control Directorate (DNCD) seized 180 packages of suspected marijuana in the port of Puerto Plata on Wednesday, with the support of representatives from the Public Prosecutor's Office and inspectors from the General Directorate of Customs (DGA). According to a statement, the alleged drugs came from Miami, United States, and were intercepted in a van in three boxes at the local customs office, located at the old dock in the province. The operation was led by Lieutenant Colonel Luis Alberto Alfonseca Castillo and Major José Martínez González, attached to the DNCD, as well as prosecutors Hilda Patricia Lagonbra and Inocencia Familia. According to information provided to this media outlet, the alleged drug packages were sent to the National Institute of Forensic Sciences (INACIF) for the corresponding purposes.

Suspected? Doesn't everybody know what marijuana smells like? The drug dogs do for sure.

When was it that Miami started to be an exporter of illegal drugs into the DR? I thought it was the other way around.

It would be the same product that they sent to Miami in the first place.

The good stuff isn't even from Florida

I guess it has to come from somewhere and then be shipped from a port, eh?
Lots of high quality product being grown in the US. I know one US born musician who formerly lived in Cabarete
that worked in the US on a pot farm.

And isn't it refreshing to see the failed drug war in action on drugs being imported to the DR?
Cannabis of all things. How ludicrous is that?

Where in my question do I ask about the quality of the product that was shipped from Miami to the DR vs locally grown?

Depends on where you live. After the US legalizes marijuana, places like the DR won't be far behind.

I suspect the DR will be VERY far behind. But I cannot predict the future.
