Great work, but they should focus on the distributors. These only fill up our prisons and waste our taxes.

Simple solution, Danilo,
Make them consume their total stash, on the spot. Let the punishment fit the crime.

Good job.
Who are these drug dealers selling to? Is there a drug using problem in La Romana?
However, the war on drugs is impossible to win.

FYI
A little drastic but effective
(CNN) -- A 56-year-old British grandmother caught smuggling blocks of cocaine in her suitcase has been sentenced to death in Indonesia.
Prosecutors in Bali had asked for a 15-year sentence for Lindsay June Sandiford, who was arrested last May carrying what officials said was cocaine worth an estimated $2.6 million.

Yes, DR_guy,
Indonesia is tough of drug smuggling, but lenient on people smuggling and terrorism. Those responsible for killing 202 people (including 88 Australians) got very light sentences, that where later reduced even more. Some Islamic clerics that incite terrorism are not touched at all.

Good point on Indonesia, they overlook sex slaves and human trafficking.
The Island of Bali in Indonesia is the Mecca for sex slaves, prostitution and human trafficking, famous the world over.
Narcotics drugs is just one addiction they are tough on.
Freaking hypocrites!!!!!
