Mauritius is located in the Indian Ocean, it is small island and a little point on the world map.
As in many other countries drugs is of course found in Mauritius. But don’t forget it is illegal.
Most of the drugs are usually imported and it is illegal to do so because you are against the law and may get in big trouble with the police in Mauritius. Mauritian law punishes severely the traffic of illegal drugs in the country.
Main drugs you may find in Mauritius is marijuana as the country has the weather for the cultivation of these plants but don’t worry the police makes a lot of control and surrounds the island with helicopters to discover where are planted “gandia” plants, as they call in Mauritius, may be found.
Usually it is easily found as it is a plant which needs a lot of sun so those cultivating can’t hide it too much.
Heroin which is known as brown sugar or opium in the island is found in the country, even with sever controls at customs some people are able to come through and bring heroin in the country.
Sometimes there are some travelers found with cocaine but not very often.
Ecstasy pills are also becoming very common in Mauritius mostly found in the surrounding of night clubs and discotheques of the island.
Most Mauritian who takes drugs are under brown sugar because it seems being the less expensive drugs in Mauritius. Opium is also sometimes cultivated on the island.
But Opium is a drug where you get physically addicted. Those started to use these drugs will be addicted for almost their whole life and some will die of it. Opium is a type of drug mainly when injected react very quickly in the body and those people will tell you they feel themselves high and cool, they forget all their problems. But as soon as the effects is gone the body ask for it again and with time for more and more. It is the same for the smokers who need a certain amount of nicotine in their body.
It is very difficult to get someone out of hard drugs as opium, heroin unless they really want it from their own and it will need a lot of courage.
So never try to bring illegal drugs to Mauritius you will be severely punished by the laws, just stay away from it.
Enjoy the beach, the sea and the sun!
