Good Job officers…
This farm was in plainsight and up to now the police see it? This is a big joke!
Was it alleged that the missing alleged Trinidadian boy was working on a cannabis farm in that District ? The Police are working good job. If at all the alleged missing boy was working on a Marihuana farm in that District, isn’t it reasonable to think that all Marihuana farm in that area will be searched ?. So Karl Davis what is your stress.
Cultivating the wrong place at the wrong time..
4 trees only.
Is the Trinidad boy they were looking for an buck up on d plantation
It’s just a tree they make it look so bad 😐 why don’t they go look for all the missing persons, and stop making weed look like it’s doing anything to people by itself
With how many countries legalizing weed, it’s wild we’re still locking people up for this.
Meanwhile, licensed growers making money and small men getting locked up.
I’m more concerned about illegal guns than a few weed plants.
So much energy spent on this but basic things like water still not working.
Good job my arse !
they need to do patrols in civilian clothes around town and nearby Greenbay to see school children in uniform a smoke to mad bush in public and near corner shops, this is outrageous and totally out of control. You cant even breathe properly these days in ANU, someone with a blasted spliff in dem mouth, is like a dem a help with the fogging situation and dem be ahazard to people with respiratory problem too.
PM need to revoke this stupid decision on weed. The people killing off dem selves and nuff turning crack head and gosts on the streets and a menace to society.
Cultivating marijuana in Antigua is a waste of time. With people constantly gone missing in Antigua which requires searching groups, these illegal cultivation will come upon. You’re required to plant four marijuana plants in your yard, why not do as the law stated.
CHUPS!!!What’s unlawful about a plant- one among all that the Almighty has given us? What needs to happen is a doing away of the colonizer mindset and free the weed!!! CHUPS!!!
