    stop wasting government money with those walks. these walks will not solve the problem. those persons on the walk have nothing to do with the young persons that are abusing drugs. Get to the schools, villages and town and make a mentoring program and put those that are already abusing drugs in a rehabilitation center. Am fed up with those easy way out. Lets get to the root of the problem amd solve it .

    I challenge the Drug Task Force and Law Officer Judges Lawers Magestrates
    goerment Oficcers advising on health and wellness issues to research the real benefits of the Herb Cannabis Sativa and refrain from spreading the propagader remarks that out of date to our generation.. Itis internationally known of positive uses of this herb and efforts to enlighten ones of its use and of the removal of this stigma that is connecting this herb plant to the processed drugs on the market even magestrate in the US are standing for its Decrimilization. So how can you all in 2012 as so called leaders of our community still spread a propagander lie so clear to our nation and have ones in darkness 25-50% of Nationals use the herb in one way or an other from cosmetics clothing to food and medicine, from police lawers doctors teachers nurses politicians farmers business peoples health practicioners magestrates tutors ministers public officials all ones in every area of society and communities, yet we hear of the negative effects every year =, yet there are no statistics from health, hospitals, clinics, mortuaries of the cause of illness death or accidents due to the use of the herb, yet the results from health as ones who uses herbs are a clean healthy sound report from heart lungs blood liver kidney infact the entire temple(body) is in sound conditions. we dont have to even visit the effects of the other real drugs from the above reports. Ones who use herbs wisely knowing of the positive uses are the ones who have less or no health short comings cause it is know that the Herb is Alkaline and used wisely tones the temple keeping free from organisms that deplete the normal functions of the temple…. In this age of upfront technology at the tip of our fingers use the technology wisely search out the knowledge valuable to ones and ones and refrain from in an enlightened era living in ignorance…

    Herbs are the healing of the Nation written in the Book of Life only uplifting mentions are of the Herbs of Creation…..

    I could educate these DEOs on WHERE to begin solving this problem. Air and Seaports, DUH! Especially the seaport where the containers are exempt from thorough inspection. Some person(s) making a heck of a lot of money and it’s not the average Dominican.
