The government of The Bahamas along with the Bahamas Medical Council gas put together world class documentations based on all that is known to date in the medical field data and tried and true evidence. I have read them all, and trust me what we as a people have put together is backed by The United NationscOffuce of Crime and Drugs 2022. That particular document mentions national criteria observed in nations that legalized Cannibas where Cannabis is already readily available. We have to stay in line with UN and WHO evidence, which state that The Bahamas there exists cannabis consumption fir over 70 years fir those who will to use it. Legalization has seen street gang crime fall because prohibition creates territorial ownership by gangs. National availability across the Caribbean has led to profits because governments collect taxes and fees like yearly drivers license for adult usage

Many businesses and employers rob NIB then it is not until termination, as in my case I found out that for more than twenty years my contribution did not match my salary. I made $800.00 per week at Baseroad Wholesale on Nassau Street only to find out my last payment was two years ago and that for twenty odd years my employer was making false contribution payments based on fictitious $500.00. I planned my retirement for 65 years God's Grace only to find out I am robbed. Fasle declarations must have also being applied to yearly audit for business licensing. according to NIB records my contributions with the company began in 1983 as read out by Government Labour Conciliation Officer Glen Knowles, though my employer admitted to me being fired 23 December 2023 he did not see any hostility towards me in NIB 15151611 ceasing contributions for years concluding that after 40 years of managing with stella service I am owed just $4,000.00 four thousand dollars for working in excess of 13 hours per day. People with cash and power will always find ways to cheat workers the system and government. Jesus cried for Lazarus, and on hearing of the death of my dear uncle Wilfred Hanna 88, then somehow becoming uncontrollable with grief and needing to burst out some tears alone at home I was fired, cursed at and stripped of my building and office keys and warned never to place foot in his building again. God's Will Be Done. Though the lawyer saw unfair dismissal and wrongful dismissal he was shocked that the government side totally acted in the interest of the employer and totally thrashed the facts. Government must be vigilant.

Rastas as a minority use the least of cannabis. But though Government proposes to allow them to conduct legal Religious use from a medicinal standpoint there are still some universally observed cautions that need consultations, as with all potential and current users. The tourist adult cannabis market is even larger than indigenous local use.
At cannabahamas@gmail.com we are contact with Cannabis Tourism that could cater to Family Island boutique small hotels that seeks partnership with global travelers. Also, there is so much educational, medicinal and social consultations to address.

The rich seem to always have power over labour laws Gere in The Bahamas. On 23 Dec 2023 I was fired from Baseroad Wholesale Bar after nearly 40 years of service duecto the fact that my uncle Wilfred Hanna died in hospital and I requested hours off to deal with my sudden grief. As I in passion attempted to leave the premises as was subsequently told I was fired, stripped of 30 odd years building keys then cursed never to enter the building again. I sought the help of Labour Department through Paul Maynard. We got a date with Labour Conciliatory personnel Mr. Glen Knowles only to be told I am owed $4,000.00 four thousand dollars only fir my forty years of service based on only two weeks vacation pay after 7 years and not three. He also summed that as manager all those years working 9am to 10-11 pm making a salary if $800.00/week in cash, Labour Laws in Tge Bahamas is only accountable to a 40 hour week with a maximum payment of $500.00 per week even Wholesale Bars are opened legally from 9am to 9pm. He never even took into account zero lunch hour having to lunch on the feet. Knowles pleaded with me to accept the $4000.00 dollars from my Employer and brother George Robinson from hus pocket as that was all I can legally receive under Bahamas Labour Laws and if I am not satisfied cone back to him to file a hearing with the Industdial Tribunal. I refused the cash that Mr Knowles claimed would then end my Labour dispute.
Upon checking NIB I discovered no contributions oaid for the last two years and even though I made $800.00 for over 30 years my contributions were paid based on a fictitious $500.00 per week salary.
It is just impossible for the poor workers to get justice against the monied. I need help 3575718 unfair and unlawful dismissal. Thus can't be the end of it all.

Check the ground. Live in the fields and stop guessing of an utopia among females. Depending on the wants and needs of females just one source of income latched on to one male nay not be sufficient to survive if the female is at not so premium level of education, income, skills and attitude. But she may want to show and live the premium lifestyle. It us not economically feasible for today's female to stay in a relationship with just one male who means her well. So see the male on male crime, in most instances there is a female living dangerous with up to three supporters. It's dangerous for males because you don't know who pays what bills. Each child is money in the child court each month. A lively way to pay the rent.

France is just now being kicked out if its remaining slave colonies in Africa. The French are among the worst of racists who rape a grain of sugar from a fly as they gave done for hundreds of years.

Then if this genius found the answer that crime is a skin color give him a trophy please. WOW! What a great brain we have here. According of USA statistics mote WHT Americans were killed by police. But they, numerically make up a greater proportion of the society. Just being blk could be broken down into Bahamian or Haitien. Black Bahamians gave far far mire numerical superiority than WHT Bahamians. So it is a matter of color to dimwitted minds who also believe there are zero poor WHT Bahamians.

The fact that the Police is dealing with disorganized crime is making Ploce work impossible. There are few if any well known leaders. Sporadic crime manifestation with no pattern is just impossible to put your fingers on.
Sad to say, but what is happening is due mostly to overcrowding and too many youths are not qualified to get anywhere, but just chill out and get passionate over small petty things. Nassau just too small after Dorian and Covid 19. This slum mindset is social and illusive as it is impossible to make something out of someone who is not inspired toward a better life.
