“When you talk about drugs, both the green and the white and I can say that both white and green are all over because of maybe our border. Our border, there’s some gaps that we need to look into. And the white drugs that are in Fiji right now, I can see there’s a lot of white drugs in Fiji and it is moved to the rural area.”
