Another danger about marijuana is to convince officials that it is actually marijuana. Drug dealers are now steeping weed in hash oil, mixing it with indian hemp, sprinkling it with angel dust, lacing it with cocaine and even intentionally putting substances in the weed to give to persons who can't afford it and come begging. of course this substance sets them off, not unlike flakka and many go out of their heads. Sometimes one must wonder why there are so many variances in the taste of beer and stout brewed locally. Of course it is known fact that some people buy expired brew and erase the dates off the bottle and resell it. Then there are rumors that even the brewery sells off bad brews locally. And since there are no quality control inspectors, who is to say they do or don't and who is to stop them?

Maybe this explains why there is a lull in crime, murders especially..the criminals are hiding or on the run finally. Keep em running and hiding.Please!

53 years in public service..how many days did you give?

"On November 8th at Web Summit in Lisbon, Uber Chief Product Officer Jeff Holden used his full twenty minutes with thousands of journalists and tens of thousands of attendees to detail the company’s plans for … ***flying cars***. Given the year Uber is experiencing, it might be understandable for Holden to try to divert attention away from some glaring issues. But Holden was deadly serious and added significant details to Uber’s previously announced plans to introduce a local air taxi service. Holden announced that Los Angeles will join Dallas-Fort Worth and Dubai as pilot cities for the Uber Elevate service test in 2020. That’s the year that arrives in 25 months.

Uber Elevate Concept Air Taxi

Uber is working with NASA and several aerospace and property development partners to get the pilot project off the ground. The schedule is no less aggressive than the pricing strategy Holden announced for the air taxi service: Uber Elevate will be price competitive with Uber X when it launches. That’s right: if your pick the right destination, you could ride in a VTOL aircraft for the same price as being ferried around in a hipster’s Prius."

Tal your dreams, though not yet legal, may not be as far fetch as you think. UBER has applied for licenses to operate air taxis. And the mode of transportation will be unmanned drones. These drones will take passengers across long distances either to their destinations or to closest stations, where they will continue on their journey via auto taxis. The first places these unmanned drones will operate is the United Arab Emirites and Dubai . Unmanned drones to deliver weed?

A true Bahamian who never gave up his British association, and eloquently so. May his soul rest in peace.

When marijuana has become legal for some time authorities in the Bahamas will still be stopping vehicles and digging down in young men’s draws and socks for the ‘legal contraband ‘, because that’s what they do. But seriously standing by the comments of Barack Obama, while the possession of weed is becoming more tolerable and by fact ‘decriminalized ‘ to an extent, there should be no rush to legalize it. As he further stated, the minute Mary Jane becomes legal, companies toile the ones that now sell tobacco and alcohol will seek to commercialize it and make it a legal multi billion industry. That is when the harmful effects of cannabis will surface and outweigh the benefits of weed. There is already a significant drug and alcohol abuse problem in this country, especially among the young people. Every one seems to have a need to lose reality or get wasted. Several radio stations play songs that promote the use of opioids and Xanax, percaset, and Molly. Most definitely when these drugs are taken with marijuana and alcohol they not only change moods but change personalities. Young men become angry and violent and some young ladies become extremely friendly and generous with their bodies. And agree to with the good doctor that the marijuana cookie should be kept in the bag of other illegals for a while longer. BTW most herbalists agree that most of the benefits of marijuana do not come from smoking it.

@ bogart a mad case of you not seeing the forest for the trees..smt

The thing is these regulatory bodies and boards (international) have more crime and scandal under their belts than most of the countries and companies or industries they are responsible for regulating. They are known to bring entire economies crashing to the ground. And more often than not their actions are based on false information or ulterior motives. They are trying to put the worlds economy in one basket and under one rule. And the Bible says when you see that happen leave the city and run to the wilderness. It is the marking of the beast.

Do you know that after 44 years of Independence, the Bahamian people collectively own *less* than the Bahamian economy than before 1973? So why is it, after 44 years of independence Bahamians still see then need to be governed and controlled by foreigners?

Bible: "The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower.

but this situation will not last forever:

Bible: ""Foreigners will come to rebuild your towns, and their kings will serve you. For though I have destroyed you in my anger, I will now have mercy on you through my grace."

Keep the faith!
