While many countries in the world are grappling with the problems of hard drugs, Solomon Islands' Police Commissioner says the country doesn't have any such problem. Peter Marshall says the only drug issue they have is alcohol - especially a locally distilled spirit drink called Kwaso, and some use of marijuana. He says that Solomon Islands doesn't have any problem with the trade, trafficking or use of hard drugs such as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine - or ice.
