if you legalize recreational, and allow visitors to smoke it on the beach, then you would have some folks coming from Florida to Nassau and Freeport to do just that. As it stands now we'll produce a couple dozen jobs and not much else will change. In fact, I'm pretty sure a lot of current users will continue to buy from their street dealer and not bother with the rigmarole of signing up with the government's overly restrictive plans. Therefore there will be less tax generated. As usual, they are missing the mark by a wide margin.
everyone who wants to smoke weed is already smoking it, the government is tripping over themselves to ensure that it's as difficult as possible to smoke it legally. Meanwhile I'll go buy a half pint, stand outside the liquor store with it cleverly hidden in a brown paper bag and drink it. By the time I'm done I'll stagger down the sidewalk and perhaps weave my way out into traffic. I can do this because it's perfectly legal to do so. Oh, public intoxication is not legal? ah yes, they are arresting people daily for this LOL
since so many people are high on the bible, may I remind them of the passage "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and so, which men among us want women to decide how and when they are able to visit a doctor, forcibly have their testicles removed if a woman sees that as the best solution etc etc Lone hypocrisy and nothing else. Shameful and embarrassing.
Y'all worried about a couple Haitians sneaking through? You seem to be forgetting all the born in The Bahamas creole speaking people. Blame the PLP of the 70's for not tackling this issue back then. Too late now.
the government has no respect for women, has no intention of protecting them and will continue to lick the boot heel of whichever pastor says that "according to the bible....."
Just plain wrong.....12 years.....the government's dad should have grabbed a grape leaf, had his way with it, then set it afloat. Successive administrations are as useful as a wasted duck.
