    marijuana is being used a medicine for many ailments – perhaps Grenada which is blessed with good weather and a beautiful island – could start by legalizing this medicine . Objections from the religious section – should be put in the same basket as their dismal pathetic covid vaccine recommendations that could have saved many lives and would have reduced the covid cases currently exploding due to the poor vaccinated numbers.

    Last we checked marijuana is being used as medication for so many ailments – and yet Grenada is splashing marijuana arrests as an accomplishment ??? so strange – another strange fact a virus that is a killer is protected by the government and people of Grenada – by 80 % refusal of vaccines against the virus. Combine these two facts and Grenada is not ready for prime time. Grenada was a destination that I loved but these 2 facts are telling me to go elsewhere – where the people can think and do things wisely – Grenada does not seem to fit this anymore . So sorrry … good luck Grenada – please heal yourself

    Why is the Grenadian government continuing to take pride in leading from behind in relation to the highly lucrative marijuana industry? While Canada has gone the full distance in legalizing the use of the herb, including the many derivative products like marijuana candies, cookies, beverages, vapes, concentrates, and topicals, and while some 18 states in the U.S. demonstrate a rabid determination to catch up with and even to take over the lead from Canada, it truly boggles the mind that the powers-that-be in the Spice Isle continue to think that it is more profitable to derive revenue through the draconian fines imposed on those enterprising members of society trying to participate in the free market economy and eke out a livelihood as alternative entrepreneurs. Come to think of it, there is big money to be made by anyone and everyone dabbling in the industry. It was reported that St. Vincent earned revenues in the vicinity of some EC $50,000,000 in the first year following the regulation of the enterprise in that country. But with Grenada having such an abundance of lawyers, the greater the number of marijuana-related cases that come to the fore, the greater the opportunity for such professionals to get their share of the pie. Thus, in their feeble opinion, the legalization/decriminalization of marijuana would amount to nothing more than to kill the goose that lay the golden egg. Even so, the time is long overdue for Grenadians of all shapes and sizes to seriously revisit the marijuana issue and realize that the country only stands to benefit socially, psychologically, economically, culturally and otherwise by adopting a more sober and enlightened approach for the future. If Canada and the U.S., the two countries which were most pivotal in classifying marijuana as a prohibited substance could have had a change of heart, even if only for the sake of the billions of dollars to be made from the industry, then it really should not be too difficult for little Grenada to cure its myopic condition. Just imagine that with every cruise ship docking at our ports, at least an extra US $50,000 would be legally added to the coffers of the treasury from the sale of recreational marijuana alone, and be in circulation throughout the broader society. And when other amounts “coming in” from the sale of medical marijuana (probably the best in the world), from tourists staying longer on the island, and from other sources are added to the mix, anyone who continues to think that the herb should be treated with the kind of opprobrium that is now the case, could only be regarded as not truly having the best interest of Grenada and Grenadians at heart.

    All this trouble over ganja… legalize it, tax it, and everybody happy. Besides Vincy and Grenada ganja is low in thc, unlike the countries where it is legal and grown by experts. What’s more the guys arrested were working at someting they like to do. Legalize it and hire them in the distribution department 🙂
