I live in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We have medical cannabis dispensaries that are allowing cannabis health benefits to many including my wife. Here, one must get a doctor's note/prescription approval and pay a yearly fee for a medical card. About $350.00 total to get approval per year. The cannabis available is clean and unadulterated as it is grown in controlled conditions and is more expensive than on the street level. Because of this, the quality of street level cannabis has increased significantly over the past few years which puts it in competition with medical cannabis. The Commonwealth is also enjoying the tax benefits and thus is on the way to allow retail sales down the road which will slow the sales of street level, untaxed cannabis. Citizens of the Commonwealth are allowed to grow 4 plants per residence. This was the first time that my plants were grown next to my tomatoes and peppers. While the end result was not in the same strength as medical, I know what was used to facilitate the growth. Organic fertilizer and no insecticides, thus a clean crop. If anyone thinks that it should be illegal, then they must realize that they are indicating that God is a Co-Conspirator in this crime. He provides seed, earth, water and sun. That is all that is needed. Other drugs, including alcohol, are processed for consumption. Not cannabis. So, think about the advantages here and in time this will eliminate the thriving business of sellers walking up and down the beaches in front of resorts, restaurants and such bothering and at times ripping off visitors from abroad. Having visited Grand Bahama over 20 times, I know that what I speak of is from experience (Bahama Princess days to Island Seas now) God bless the Bahamas! And allow all His creations to flourish!
My wife and I are two of those from USA that visited Grand Bahama last week (Our 18th visit to GBI) at Island Seas resort and celebrated our Thanksgiving holiday there. We planned the trip while there was a US CDC red level designation and just before we arrived it was yellow! Progress! We were both impressed with the friendliness of all, and the seriousness of masks, temperature readings, hand sanitation, easy to find Covid testing places and distancing. Bravo to Grand Bahamians! Now let's get the airport facilities back where they belong and keep the friendly ways rolling on this wonderful spot on God's Great Earth! Another political party has taken the lead.. They need to take their hands out of their pockets and lead as promised. And to you wonderful citizens, keep getting those jabs of the first one and then boosters! See y'all next year! Cheers! Rob from Richmond
God Bless Y'all! The pendulum of good health is finally going in the right direction! My wife and I have been jabbed here in the states, doing very well and are looking forward to coming to Grand Bahama during November! Cheers!
