Why??? Are those American DEA on the side? Doesn't anyone think it slightly hypocritical of them as they legalize it in the USA now?

DEA is a 'federal' law enforcement agency. Marijuana is still considered illegal to them. However, how does their Federal law affect our Country? It affects our country because of the promised 'support' from the U.S. through international treaties. Technically, America owns the Gulf & Waters surrounding the pan handle, and most, if not all the caribbean/west indian water passages connecting with South America and their North American Allies in that region.

Question, so who 'owns' the boundaries and counties around the State of Colorado and Washington IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, where Cannabis is not only legal for medicinal use (along with about 20 other states) but also for RECREATIONAL USE??? Slice it anyway you like an orange is an orange, hypocrisy is hypocrisy!

I only made clear the reason as to why they are here. I am not saying that they are not hypocrites, but at the same time, all those states you see that are legalized still cannot deposit money into a financial institution because 'federal' law prohibits it. Also, the DEA can raid any one of those institutions at any given time. You see all the glitz and glamour about it, but you really dont see the 'stress' the DEA puts on those institutions.

The banks are now allowing deposits actually. I have friends in CO. Eryting cool. No DEA busts.

Waste of energy. $1m that could've contributed to the government if this was taxed and regulated. What a waste.

The amount of money wastes on the 'war on drugs' is astounding. We could reduce court costs, reduce prison costs and overcrowding. Police could focus on the violent crime that plagues our nation. Gangs would lose power and revenue derived from the sale of it. It could be taxed and could be used to even drive tourism. There is no common sense behind it. It's the same as alcohol prohibition and will soon be a thing of the past. Then we can look back and see how much money we gave up and how many lives we ruined in a failed attempt to controls people's private lives.

Sell it to Colorado?

Very good suggestion. At $400 an ounce, we can make a good profit in Colorado

Tax it like we do the number house.

This is insanity! Seriously, and we wonder why our country is always operating in a deficit? We're spending taxpayers money on nonsense! Borrowing other people's money whose intentions is not in our best interest. Realistically speaking, what can we do? seriously? Throw rock at them?. These politician don't need to feel the 'love' of the Bahamian majority, they need to feel the 'fear' of the Bahamian majority!

People should no be afraid of their government, the government should be afraid of the people!

Because they legalizing marijuana doesn't make it good. This contraband is to over abused in this country. Now even young girls are smoking it to the point of looking and smelling like a weed head. This country and its government must prepare itself for the serious backlash if marijuana is legalized fully in the USA. There will be a serious epidemic of drug abuse here!

You need to educate yourself. You are probably the one that never used marijuana, yet you rant all the fallacies about it. Dont knock something that you yourself have never tried. Marijuana is a political problem, and you sir have taken the bait.

Keep researching. Studies prove otherwise. Besides, we have a serious alcohol situation, that if you ask me, certainly is the gateway to badness.

Because I never used marijuana doesn't mean I am not aware of the negative effects it is having on the youth of this nation. I have never smoked cigarettes but I know the effects of heavy or long term smoking...Marijuana is more than a political problem. It is a legal problem, a social problem and a medical issue. Even if it becomes a legal substance, it will still pose a threat to an individual or to society, in general if it is aboused. What part of my statements are fallacies?

How do you KNOW this? Compared to what? Where are the local studies? In places that marijuana is legal, there is not an influx of losers all of the sudden. Bahamians don't give Bahamians enough credit. Always cutting each other down, acting like Bahamians need to be told how to live their lives. Teach your kids right from wrong for God's sake.

I bet some successful ones that you might be friends with too.

I'm all for the 'to each, their own' theme.
