Please stop the bullshyt and simply legalize possession of under 2 ounces. NOTHING else makes any damn sense!!

I remind you that the prime minister **is not a king.** No PM, has **the authority** to order **weed or anything else,** legal. “No man **is good enough** to govern another man **without** that other's consent,” yes?

I urge the Government to really reconsider legalizing this poison. Please have the testicular fortitude to say marijuana will continue to be illegal. Look at the health problems in our country caused by smoking marijuana. Obesity, violence, High Blood Pressure, BiPolar mental problems, female abuse and the list goes on. Look at the nation of Singapore. They are one of the world’s most competitive and productive nations and marijuana is illegal. There is no demand for this drug whatsoever. Compare Singapore to Jamaica and you will get my point.

Mr. Impirialist, Your logic is seriously flawed. The only reason that Singapore does so well financially is because you are sentenced to a public caning if you spit on the street or are caught chewing gum. both of which cause Obesity, high hypertension, and bi-polar,, as everyone knows.. Just compare the per capita murder rate in the UK or Canada,where possession of mariuana for personal consumption is legal, with The Bahamas where it is illegal. See my point?

i agree with you on the holes in the argument but not on the stance. I think theyve put just as much thought into this marijuana issue that they put into the gaming. Its all about how much money THEY can get. A new batch of addicts will be created and families destroyed with this legalization. Theres no if ands or buts about that. Im sure they'll have a march through downtown soon with all the marijuana supporters. 4 years from now the doctors and psychiatrists will tell us about the damage, it wont be the majority but it will be enough. then the growers will establish a fund to ... show how much they care.

don't get out much huh?

Try meditation and exercise for your altered state of consciousness. Leave marijuana and alcohol, the twin destroyers, alone. Strengthen your faith in the Almighty and stop looking for excuses to destroy our youth.

So they should also ban alcohol, fast foods, most Bahamian dishes and a host of other stuff because they all lead to the issues you are talking about.

Dr.Minnis does this all the time.He makes grand pronouncements and policy decisions to the media .This is done without his clear cut understanding of the policy decisions and consulting his colleagues. He is simply horrible as prime minister. He is giving Mr. Christie a run for his money.

I agree with thisisours. Minnis only formula is who has the money democracy. We got swing to vote for Minnis. Both Gaming and Marijuana were in acted to benefit 0.005 green money. He does not care about voters we cannot satisfy him. He only need us as flippened tokens. Even the average street police was shocked the Marijuana would be legal only for his five millionaire growers who would be untouchable with acres of weed while a person among some fifty thousand recreational users will be locked up or fined. Might as well keep the current laws on the books, illegal for all.

Minnis has bolted 360° around fifty years of Bahamian dreams and expectation. We have been made out casts with no say in our own land by the have money have all the say democracy Minnis style. Now only joy for the elite five to make money. While users pay continue paying fines and incarseration. This will buried on arrival.

Can we please legalize medical marijuana soon - my back hurts!!!

**What's me to do when** my personal Lawyer/family member was elevated to sit highest up on Relm's Court bench? Whom shall be making legal medicinal use consult contact with, pertaining to, am I goin' be sittin' okay with the continuation of mixing up batches my specially developed ingredients required to bake from scratch, my HomeBaked Brownies, tuning out be **sufficiently medicinally potent effective enough** yes?

Could someone please tell me what value is derived from smoking or eating marijuana? Absolutely nothing. What are the consequences from smoking marijuana? Wild unfulfillable illusions, hunger leading to gluttony, trances where individuals become spaced out zombies and the list continues. As I am urging try meditation and yoga, exercise and prayers. I bet you our nation will be transformed. Let’s give it a try.

Yoga. Most people know of yoga through reading. At a slower point in time say the 70's many Bahamians tried both meditation and Marijuana. As the world got more instant yoga lost its appeal. Curious though to compare the two. Menopausal women sure are old enough over 16 to could make a decision for her body and family without the stigma of government having a microscope up your life. I am not sure of the value of breath control toward sexual potency for women like Marijuana brings. I have certification on Marijuana through The Canadian Public Health Authority. Government is imposing critical criminal stigma on the relaxation benefits of Marijuana for adults if they do chose to use it.
