Say No To Drugs!

You may have heard the big news from here about the drug bust of a dozen or so people in relation to the importing, sale, possession, and use of marijuana.  It was a year long sting that saw a range of hospitality and law enforcement personnel, as well as other locals, arrested.   Being such a small island rumours are rife as to who they were, with most being known by all.  I was wondering why I noticed a number of NZ police on the island.  Anyway, I say good on them and a job well done, but I had to chuckle at the fact that it was only marijuana – not that that’s excusable in any way, but I recall the fight against P and other horrendous drugs back in NZ, but I guess it’s all relative.  The going on's here are everyday occurences in NZ to which a blind eye is often turned.  Meanwhile alcohol and cigarettes continue to remain the drug of choice – but that’s a whole different story…!
