Historically, you are describing just the very scenario that exists today from the 1970s. Not wanting to engage in politics but Cannabis needs regulation and education to get rid of it being available exclusively to criminal sellers and making users all criminals. This exclusively criminal muti-billion dollar industry has created international drug lords that damaged every nation, which lead to Uruguay Cannibas decriminalization then murders stopped.

In order for Pitts and the USA Government to be real to The Bahamas, they must realize our economic climate and how we shiver from their deadly tourist warnings. Our crime statistical breakdown involves personal issues murder resolved through murder. And never never ever threatened visitors as we are a 7 by 21 family feud, not even gang related and organized from a definitive head leader. USA intelligence needs to take control of international press releases related to the breath we breathe and the waters we sell. Any two families could ignite in a spike in crime. USA needs to get real with their statistical revelations and depuctions filter of Bahamian crime.

Further it is a crime that The Bahamas has not falken in line that the vast majority or Americans critically fear our Cannabis laws and we are loosing countless millions of North American and European tourists because of this. The Bahamadustbstop posing as a terminal threat to guests where their homelands call cannabis home.

I too was fearful of the Obeah belief. But, I am a creative writer. The late Calvin Lockhart RIP brought in an agent to advise me on my potential novel HIGH. The Bahamian historical mosaic defines pre Columbus Lucayans, clash of civilizations, about two hundred years go by then African slavery to the America's by Portugal followed by the UK. Colonization and the African diaspora with culture to our Shires. Colonial Rule moved onto local rule then majorityvrule. The drugs 80s added to our history with exploits between The America's, The Bahamas and N America.
The agent, Professor Troupe, creative writing specialist, told me point blank. All I had in my fiction contained elements Bahamians copy from USA, cocaine, violence, corruption and millions. To sell to the world market I had to write about something they knew nothing about that would be fresh to a huge audience and that was Obeah. Haiti already developed the Voodoo which they own. Fircartistucs purposes The Bahamas owns Obeah intrigue. Amazon.com. high. bahamian obeah and black magic. It took me five years of thought to realize I needed to listen to specialists in creative art in order to create curiosities uniquely Bahamian to a foreign watchers and readers.

On Obeah not a cultural norm here

Most women inflict silent abuse on men. They give an in public performance then men know that out if the sunlight into the shadows the severe pains of loneliness begins. Some men go on to commit slow drinking or other coping mechanisms. Some go on go commit adultery then become shamed by society. Men vould take physical blows bot the blows that cripple the heart leave no bruises.

Tourism is a service industry that pays well, yes, and yes once money is secure it destroys creativity but pays the bills. Then what happens from government to encourage ingenuity, thinkers, and research and debate.

Acknowledgment is not blame. How how you correct a situation when a thought is always one of denial fogging up and mixing up facts, manipulations and all to cover resentments, mistakes, bad judgments and the reality of suffering for all involved. In all cases women are not honest with other women and would watch them take the wrong train ti disaster. Women can help women most. But there must first be honesty and accepting of self responsibility in order to move on.
