Now they are so proud of the weed that they take photos with it. Hypocrisy to the Max. But there is a backlash coming
You guys especially workers incompetent followers never talk about learning skill job such as engineering or agriculture etc. But as soon as Cannabis involvement comes up every s**t would want to jump on the spade.
I hope he not planning our continued misery using our youngsters in the police to persecute cannabis users.
So long they advised them PMs, even when our PM was chair of both OECS and CARICOM, to come to with a unified response to capitalize on the legalization of cannabis. Now each likkle island has to come up with a separate one-tree/3-tree solution that’s guaranteed to keep imprisonment of their citizens as designed by the Kuklux klan from the 1930’s to today.
By keeping it illegal, not putting it into proper perspective they are only continuing the klan’s work. Thailand has totally legalized cannabis for all uses, without issues.
We must create an industry line Cuba did with tobacco, Cuban cigars, yet not everyone smokes it there.
Now where’s Waldo?
I don’t know why the government don’t want to put factories in Dominica to give people work to do and pay them right
Manufacturing and agro processing can save Dominica (lowers unemployment, transfer of skills, reduce trade deficit, improved linkages across productive sectors etc etc). But they are not interested in that until it suits their agenda.
So disgusted with this Jacka.. Prime Minister of Dominica. Instead you amend the legislation to create an industry in cannabis you legalized grams of it for young men of Dominica to keep blowing their brains.
Young people get rid of this IDIOT!!! called Prime Minister your future is in your hands
Exactly most of the Caribbean countries already have an industry up and running even medicinally and more, meanwhile in Dominica they dragging their feet. When the market saturated then they will want to start something. Dominica always last, last kakajab

Ground jail to rotting with rats.
@Man bite dogs

And look what is happening around the Caribbean crimes,crimes, crimes that is what cannabis involvement does to young people, while we at it please show me one Caribbean island that’s making big money by manufacturing cannabis except the criminals that is one thing black boys and some girls good at: deep, stop carrying water in basket it will not hold.
Jamaica is. Their tourism industry has grown since their legalization. They have organised events and businesses based on cannabis. Apart from the raw plant, a plethora of by products can be developed, and they are exploring the avenues. One of the leading people doing research on cannabis at UWI in Jamaica, that operates the cannabis research program is actually a Dominican.
