The Drug Squad unit of the Commonwealth of Dominica is reporting two successful anti-drug operations.
According to Police PRO, Acting Inspector Pellam Jno Baptiste, 10,488 fully grown alleged cannabis trees were found in the heights of Morne Prosper, on Thursday 10th March, 2016.
The trees were uprooted and burned.
On Wednesday 2nd March, 2016, a successful anti-drug operation was carried out in the south of the island.
As a result, 15,650 fully grown cannabis trees, 60lbs of cured alleged cannabis weed, and 40lbs of alleged cannabis seeds were destroyed.
No arrests were made in either instance.
When will the Dominica government get it? the developed countries are legalizing it and making billions of dollars in taxes and our young men/women are being made criminals. when Dominica should be a front runner in the Caribbean to begin growing it legally……..the rich countries destroyed our banana industry so this is a way to make up what we used to have back in those days with our bananas.
Ghetto youths must survive by any means necessary. Every body can’t be a priest, or work at an office, or be a bank accountant, or parking the supermarket shelve. Life’s weird. Just open your hands mr jacket and tie and Mrs. Stiletto, all the fingers on your hands aren’t the same length, so the world that we live in is made up of all types of ppl with different personalities. STOP OPPRESS GHETTO YOUTHS. I will die being their advocate rather than to associate my self with you the oppressors!!!! Jah Rastafari
To hell with that!
De abuse of our young girls continue and our police regrettably can’t announce any success!
Burn marijuana. …..de whole world knows about de magnificent medical benefits of this plant!
You want a lollipop for dat?
I agree – I think certain things are much more important/significant than marijuana growing and use. The movement toward decriminalization of marijuana world wide is only proving ignorance and lack of independent thinking and action by the Governments of third world countries like Dominica. Why should we as a country in a region known for the high usage of marijuana not use this as an opportunity to utilize and make the most of experience use and growing. The Caribbean provides the best tropical conditions for growing such plants and we are creative enough to make innovative ways to use, growth, research and utilization for more than just for the medicinal use and values but for oil, clothes and whatever else beneficial to us as a people and a nation. Why do we continue to be puppets to 1st world countries who still have high poverty rates, high crimes rates, lack of moral values, high rates of diseases and so much more. Why cant we try to create our own culture of health and happiness
Damn it man. Let the weed grow and help this economy.
police officers keep doin the wickedness you all do to poor black ppl like yourselves that is y sum of allu goin mad after a while. all who do wicked it will fall back on allu u. poor young men working so hard to mke a living giving back to society wen buying fertilizer,napsack,manure and chemicals to control pesticide that is what allu doin their cry will surely fall all those dirty bastard. FIRE
keep ur head up high don’t let badminded ppl weigh u down God is good and his mercy endures. tell dem u still have ton plant di highest grades to pay dem so f*** dem. whoever send di police God be with u
Instead them police focus on the real criminals and the real crimes they there in garden uprooting plants from the earth. Wha happen? Allyou is farmers or wha?
They must know about the people. If they are not caught they cannot arrest them. Their day will come. At least they got some illegal drugs and burnt them. Under the circumstances this is all they can do for now. It was a successful drug raid.
The top elites of the country building Villars, some of them even building a house every five years, they have money in Swiss bank where is all u own? keep voting them still and all u will see the amount of harassment all u will endure for a little Cannabis
That is all POLICE does be successful at……DRUGS. but cannot report any success on anything else in Dominica.
leave the ganja farmers alone. you police have all sorts of means to make the illegal money and youll still troubling the ganja farmers. farmers have to look out for birds, rats, police and thieves. so sad!!!!!!
south of the island I bet is pointe michel
that’s y there is increase in crime n violence but plant yams, dasheen fig they sell too.
Nonsense. Man doesn’t kill for weed.
Are u sure all was destroyed or they help there self
Our weak black leaders are still waiting for their slave masters to give them the command to decriminalize a natural plant, while the usa makes billions $$$. Nothing to be proud of if you ask me…

A grown police once told me marijuana does make people sick and do evil things. In this day and age i couldnt believe that this grown man a public servant was so absolutely dumb and brainwashed. I asked him if he drank alcohol, he said well alcohol is legal then he showed be a bottle in his desk. Sins and crimes. Marijuana was and has never been a sin. only a crime because that is how they want it. ask them why and wait for the nonsensical answer. especially from “educated” men like the attorney general.
America that criminalize ganja now making it legal for their profit while them fools still hunting it down. If u guys a so God like people y are u all dissatisfied and angry with what he has create. Buggery is legalized in the USA are u people going to legalized weed a plant God has created for mankind.
Time to start growing indoors on a smaller scale, and get high grade seeds from Europe. I’m tired of smoking this local land race weed yuck
. sometimes I miss being overseas.
Why you come back for? You’ll stay smoking dirt
ME!!! I stop smoke man weed, I order my seeds and I grow my own stuff, I was just giving an idea. AK-47, and White Russian growing nicely.
@Dolce Vita chemicals you like to smoke… D/ca have the best soil, producing the best grade….. when you use ash to grow a weed combined with our soil and some local manure what can beat that? too bad weed is d only cash crop we can get from our fertile soil.
What makes you think you will not be detected.
And risk setting a fire indoors? The police will still catch you.
If the seeds and plants were destroyed why keep referring to them as “alleged”. That term infers that the police are not certain that they are real, which I am sure that is no the case and the use of “alleged in this case” would be a nonsense.
“alleged” is a cover up to keep it for themselves. as kids we played cops n robbers…..now police are both cops n robbers.
