So, just as the USA votes to legalize marijuana, US drug enforcement turns its attention to the Bahamas. Which makes sense: they want to protect their tax base and their producers. There is a government, looking after their own people. Not like these clueless morons in charge of us.

Exactly

Yes, or no, would've thought some enterprising comrade's field growing some Cannabis should be encouraged as a boost Grand Bahamaland's sagging economy - certainly better investment than taking $100 million out peoplespublicpurse to recklessly buy a on its last leg overpriced hotels property - only then fire 50% workers - and all within 14 days Imperial reds taking possession. Yes, no?

That's an easy affirmative, Comrade!

Yes, or no, Ma Comrade DDK, regressive policies by a red shirts regime. headed by a Imperial PM, who encourages his grandson to joyfully rush to Junkanoo beat 5th place finish.

"Clueless morons" is an understatement about these jackass's we call "leaders".

How and why the hell can US law enforcement officers be involved when pot is legal in more than 22 states?

No more PLP or FNM for me!!

Give the guy a licence and let him export to Canada.

Yes, or no, once fair general election votes are counted, a government elected by the people, must be extended every opportunity to govern and that should include the support by those not participating in voting with the majority........ but the Imperial reds may be nearing a rejection revolt by many of very 91,409 comrades voting red 10 May, 2017. Grand Bahalanders. along with sister Abaco out islanders, seem be about lead red rejection revolt. Yes, no?

YES!

Marijuana is dangerous to some, but if it is grown EXCLUSIVELY for export to countries who allow their citizens to smoke it, well that's another matter completely!

Many people catch hell without resorting to drug or alcohol use or abuse!!

Far worse is the government allowing gambling houses to do business on economically depressed islands like Grand Bahama!

Yes, or no, imagine the magic relief that would have brungs our economically suffering Grand Bahamalands as they're about go into year 2019, had the elected Grand Bahamaland Imperial red shirts MP's - truly have wanted instill some economic magic into Freeport and rest Grand Bahamaland - starting for much far less less than the $100 million purchase Lucayan Hotel sinkhole - had they kick-started a fund for "mom and pop entrepreneurs" to open their own "comrade roadside Cannabis stalls." Yes, No, would Grand Bahamalanders be better off financially, had the same Imperial red shirts elected MP's - applied equal support for "comrade roadside Cannabis stalls" as they've displayed for the "numbers sellers,"yes, no? Maybe there's younger generation former House of Sales discount stores and Dolly Madison's fame - willing to lead the charge the funding "comrade mom and pop Cannabis roadside stalls, yes, no?

We have given them these rights. They are the only ones monitoring our shores for major drug trafficking and money laundering and keeping our gangs in some sort of reasonable check. Without big brother around I fear this place would be really violent with gangs terrorizing more homes - instead of fighting one another.

True enough, to a certain extent.

They have no rights, they just bully the rest of the world into submission. Neither do they have respect. One of these days they will push a sovereign nation too far and then.........

Yes, or no ma comrades, the more idle the hands the better our elected government be's in playing role in the decriminalization, licensing and to safety to keep cannabis out of reach Bahamaland's youth. Yes,no take look at government's "hands on" managing the numbers sellers, yes, no? Does we really need a cannabis commission - headed by some politically hand picked Preacherman's, yes, no?

I say put a referendum for legalization to a vote. Surely the government would honor the outcome.

people were stupid enough to elect Hubert Minnis as leader of the FNM and then PM. I don't trust people who make dumb decisions like that with their emotions to make decisions of this magnitude! Sorry!

But look at the two options we had to vote for. The people certainly picked the better option. We still don't know who was controlling Perry. The numbers criminals had a part, but the really big international players are still unknown to me.

The stalwart councilors never should have chosen Minnis to be party leader!
