The use of the term medical marijuana is humorous. It is akin to using the term a considerate rapist. Nothing could be more destructive to one’s health like this dangerous drug called marijuana. The empirical evidence emerging from the scientific journals is that it is a gateway to cocaine, ketamine, and heroin. It is time to revoke the legalization of this poison before it is too late.

Why is something that is completely and utterly harmless, illegal?

You're either full of misinformation or shiit ...... but I very much suspect the latter.

Clocks ticking. Florida recreational marijuana on ballot in november. If passes and govt start locking up tourists coming off the cruise boats it won't look good.

Dream on ........ the vast majority of Floridians still love and value the health benefits of their Clean Air Act and are even willing to have the pot head type of tourist spend their money elsewhere.

> Jomo Campbell revealed that the land unit is conducting an audit as his ministry moved to secure approximately 25 acres for qualified participants in the medical marijuana industry.

> The minister confirmed ongoing discussions with the Health Minister Dr Michael Darville, and AG Pinder. He said they plan to meet again soon to finalise the establishment of the regulatory authority for the cannabis industry.

Campbell, Darville and Pinder are each participating in the outright theft of land from the Bahamian people for an illegal and nefarious purpose that will greatly enrich only the select "chosen" few thugs while causing untold harm to many in our society.

Any one with an ounce of knowledge and common sense knows full well that so called "medical marijuana" is today safely produced in a medical lab and dispensed by order of a qualified medical doctor in liquid or aerated form (including nasal spray), in appropriate dosages for the ailment being treated.

A lot of you Tribune commentators are as lost or more lost than the clowns in Parliament. Of course the growing licenses and distribution will be given to cronies, that's the norm. We long ago missed the opportunity for recreational tourism. (Thousands of Floridians would have taken weekend cruises to Nassau and Freeport so they could "smoke a joint on the beach in The Bahamas) far too late for that now. And all y'all scared to death of the devils lettuce have obviously never smoked and or don't suffer from things like PTSD, anxiety, depression etc. Personally I was smoking medicinal weed since the early 80's long before it was called that. Trust me it works. Can overuse of recreational smoking have negative impacts on your life? yes, Cannabis is not a cure all but it has it's place. Put the bible down and look at the calendar, it's 2024 y'all.

Why this focus on denial. This drug is dangerous. Have you ever seen a frequent user, ostensibly for medical purposes, appear normal. He is invariably filthy in appearance, unkempt and on the margins of insanity? No sane person in full control of his/her mental faculties would go down this road to insanity? Please provide the name of one doctor who prescribes this poison to anyone in the Bahamas unless they have the same greed as Matthew Perry’s doctors? In prescribing Ketamine to this man, their comment was” how much is this MORON prepared to pay for this prescription .”

@JackArawak's troubled head has long been clouded by the brain-damaging and very stink smelling cannabis smoke floating between his ears.
