Exactly. Creativity and originality in the subjects makes them hard to control. Alcohol, OTOH, seems to be doing wonders.

While I agree that the government should be going after the micro-traffickers instead of guys like this it's still an incredibly stupid thing to do or maybe like some people have mentioned he felt he could just skirt the laws and/or buy his way out. I have a feeling many ex-pats somehow believe that because we're a corrupt country they can do whatever...which is only true if you are "pegado" with the higher ups. Anyone who has spent more than a few days in The DR know that growing Marijuana is still somewhat taboo in The DR.

I hope he gets a few days in jail to correct his stupidity...

Exactly Don p this is not about morals this is about money this guy was growing some good weed and probabally cutting in on the police(who get paid by the drug points) and the drug boys period. Stupid to be involved in this yes but snitched on for sure as this was inside his house verty hard to detect. So Wishing you Well if you think the police judges and what not consider this a moral victory your wrong 2 things will happen either this guy gets locked up for a few years because he has no money or he pays out some $$$ and walks off free what is more ileagal in the long run? Like i said do you even live in the DR its so corrupt here you can kill someonwe in cold blood with witnesses around and still pay to get off!!!!!
Wake up a few trees growing is not a big deal the big deal is the tons of coke going thru this country how??? Via the army navy and police the big deal is now you have the Mexican cartels here and when the poo poo hits the fan watch out!!! Not some old guy growing some trees in his house. Why dont the DR think out of the box and legalise canibus it would open up a whole new tourism and taxation thus providing funds for more jeeptas and big house for government officials.

Now, that is easy to answer. :bunny:
The way it is now, those government crooks earn much more than if drugs (marihuana in this case) were legalized. :tired:

i swear to you, what a fool. he could have kept few plants scattered in the garden, among platanos and dominican cereza, just for himself. no one would ever know and no one would ever bother him. heck, most likely he would feel totally relaxed 24/7 :)

Yes indoors, where else would one grow it? All those I have known who have grown it have done it indoors wirth Grow bulbs in their flourescent fixtures. And I've known at least a dozen such indoor gardens over the years from Minnesota to Tenn and Florida and Maine! Don't try it outside. The law enforcement people know it by site, even if you don't.

It is very difficult to have sympathy for anyone caught with drugs of any illegal sort in DR. It is impossible to buy, use, grow or even talk to ANYONE without word being relayed back to someone involved in the extortion of someones money, somehow, someway. If people are too green to know that then it is unlucky as there arent too many out there who have never indulged at some point in life. But contrary to outside belief (that the Caribbean is the place to CHILL) we know it is only truely CHILLED when you cut yourself off from EVERYONE, and I know of only a few who have actually done that, or who would want to do that.
The DR is probably the only place Ive ever lived where I believe you are less at risk of rubbing with the law than if you were to murder someone than to use drugs, truely, everyone who uses outside of thier home or has ever talked about it has come up against it at some point, in some way. Not to say Id prefer to kill someone than smoke a spliff, just in the DR it is much safer to do neither, as each are as likely to land you in trouble, and each will probably carry the same sentence and costs to get you out.
