Generally well written. The only point I have issue with is the statement that it will be this big money making industry. The reality is that places like Oregon and Canada have mountains more resources available to produce the quality controlled crop to supply the medical use demands. The secondary consumer market where the quality control may not be as strict these places have thousands of times more arable land than our little archipelago. That said there will be an industry but it will be relatively small. Probably somewhere between the small scale produce farmers and the mom and pop corner stores.

we are all getting coal and porrige for xmas, except for the lucky few who have gov't guaranteed incomes and all the doctors and nurses. And the medical testing labs will be getting gold and jewels for their xmas turkey.

yes, i have been wondering who is getting all the lucrative 'emergency' contracts in the bahamas. With FOIA i'm sure we will never know.

Bahamas Govt: its easy just go online.

Bahamas Central Bank: BWahahahaha

canadian banks shrug shoulders....

once again, the issue is not who is going to make the money off of the issue. The issue is cutting government expenses by NOT incarcerating young men and women for having a little bit of a plant in their pocket. Stop obfuscating the issue and focus on the real point.

Go shut up. pumppushnitser

yeah but how many BPL employees does it take to change a lightbulb. keep it all in perspective. last time i watched it was 8.

Since we are on the topic - let me get this straight please? We are asking tourists to come here for a vacation but they have to be locked up by 8pm and they are not permitted to venture out from Friday 5pm to Monday morning? where do you guys come up with this stuff? If i had a hotel or airline business in this country I would shut it down indefinitely until this mess is straightened out. I am flabbergasted at how little understanding of real life the people making decisions about the lifeblood of this country actually have. Take away half the populations income for 9 months and then stop providing any assistance to feed his family? Minnis and the medical establishment have created the biggest ticking time bomb this country has ever seen and they are completely oblivious to it. well done. hope everyone got a shotgun to protect themselves when it hits the fan.

the more I hear about the testing and the many many false or strange results the less faith i have in the medical profession. they don't want us to use antigen or antibody testing because they are not reliable but the number of anecdotal false results I am hearing call the PCR testing into question to. if a test is too expensive or too difficult to administer widely it is not a good test period. antigen/antibody tests are better simply because they are quicker and cheaper to give. PCR is not practical and is should not be relied upon for the reasons I have outlined. Give the at risk people 10 N95 (or equivalent) masks and lets all get back to life. If any politician says they did not know it would last this long is either lying or the people giving them advice are clearly clueless. A viral pandemic does not disappear overnight, simply pick up a bloody history book sometime.

this epitomizes the level of sheer lack of understanding of the real world living.
