Drugs
Belize has long been an important link in the chain of supply between the drugs producers in South and Central America and the users in North America, with minor players often being paid in kind, creating a deluge of illegal drugs. Marijuana, cocaine and crack are all readily available in Belize, and whether you like it or not you'll receive regular offers. Never attempt to buy drugs on the street. All such substances are illegal , and despite the fact that dope is smoked openly in the streets, the police do arrest people for possession of marijuana and they particularly enjoy catching tourists. If you're caught you'll probably end up spending a couple of days in jail and paying a fine of several hundred US dollars: expect no sympathy from your embassy.
