What a bunch of crap!!! When I used to go to Schizo and other clubs in Santo Domingo, you could see people going into corners and bringing out a little bag, then putting some of that "refined sugar" on a credit card and sniffing away............all those rich kids do it, I've seen it myself, I went to school or lived near a lot of them. I remember one time I went to some club on Winston Churchill Ave and there had to be at least 5 people getting coked up outta their minds right outside the club, then two of them had the nerve to start a fight, then the freaking cops from Destacamento de Naco showed up and took them away. I will agree with the fact that people over there don't sell or buy drugs out in the open, unlike in the US. It's a recreational drug down there, more for just the party scene, it's not something they would dabble in every day.
For a joint it's 6 months automatically, as a person I used to go to school with found out the hard way, right to el Palacio de la Policia, in the Alaska section, it's probably the worst section in there...............he came out after 5 months and 13 days looking like shit.
