the FNM will most definitely NOT be legalizing before the next election. They will dangle this in front of the voters and promise swift action after the election. Once the election is over, this issue and many others will simply be pushed to the back burner and allowed to simmer indefinitely. Dr Minnis is a small minded and vindictive coward who is afraid to make sensible decisions. Instead he favors closing beaches for no good reason. #sad
Now is the time to plant your okra and sweet potatoes. Perhaps the Ministry of Agriculture can assist in the creation of community gardens. Make crown land available immediately for anyone who wants to farm. People are going to be hungry. The government may have to open soup kitchens.
these clowns ''threatened'' the residents of The Mudd for years, it took Dorian to come along and do their job for them. Those folks in Andros can rest easy.
if we want to benefit from cannabis tourism, we will need to legalize before Florida. Other than that the industry will be relatively small, local consumption alone will not make anyone rich. Exports will face stiff competition. Exports of ''Bahamian grown craft weed" will be relatively miniscule as well. We should have legalized at least 5 years ago.....but it will be a minimum of 5 more years while our esteemed scientists study the issue. If it happens at all. I'm 100% convinced Minnis is going to use this as an election issue, carrot on a stick style.
I once went to the administrators office in Abaco and there was no one at the reception desk. Five minutes later a young lady emerged wearing fuzzy bedroom slippers and sucking on a chicken bone. That isn't ignorance, just a complete lack of regard. Our islands are beautiful, but the majority of the people are living in a weird dream state created by LOP
