Marijuana at the Border? German Citizen Arrested at Sukobin!
Did you know that a 23-year-old German citizen, J.J., was arrested at the Sukobin border crossing for possessing marijuana? Police, using a service dog, found a small amount of marijuana and a grinder in his Volkswagen vehicle as he attempted to enter Montenegro. Although the quantity was small, this case has stirred quite a buzz in the public.
What exactly happened?
Police conducted a check at the Sukobin border crossing and found drugs in the German citizen’s vehicle. The marijuana and grinder were confiscated, and the case was reported to the Higher State Prosecutor’s Office in Podgorica. While there are no elements of a criminal offense, J.J. will be prosecuted for a misdemeanor under the law on preventing drug abuse.
Is this just a drop in the ocean?
In the region, arrests related to drugs happen daily. For example, in Čačak, two people were arrested for unauthorized production and possession of marijuana, and police found a plantation with as many as 31 cannabis plants. Such cases are not uncommon, indicating the seriousness of the drug problem in the region.
Why does this matter?
This case shows how strict the police are at the borders and how seriously they take drug control. However, it raises the question of whether prosecuting possession of a small amount of marijuana is the right way to fight drug abuse or just an additional burden on the judicial system.
What do you think?
Is the arrest of the German citizen for a small amount of marijuana justified or excessive? Should we focus on bigger criminal cases or strictly punish even such misdemeanors? Share your thoughts, you might surprise us!
Fun fact: The German was arrested with a grinder! Who still carries a grinder in the car? Is it a new fashion accessory or a sign that someone is really serious about their love for marijuana?
