  2. Obviously the police is dealing with a repeat offender who doesn’t seem to have any intention of changing his criminal way of live. Therefore just lock him up and threw away the key. Case close.

  3. @Less We Forget- unjust laws should be resisted and dispbeyed. If we decriminalize marijuana and have accepted it now as a commodity (after destroying countless lives) why cant it be imported like any other commodity?

    What does he need to go to jail for. When marijuana farms here reaps yen of thousands of pounds of weed even for export!

    Isnt this protectionism and pure bad minded wickedness! If we disallowed the importation of bananas because we grow bananas here, would that be right?

    Somebody please explain who or what this man and countless others have harmed by importing a product sold here! I think this is pure tyranical bullshit!

    And look how easily u and otgers cheer on. The same way an ignorant society outcasted Rastas and mash up lives of our young men over nothing. It took the USA and others to legalalize a herb for these small minded caribbean leaders to follow. This is the crime. Who are truly the real criminals?

    • you are so correct. and look at how quick they got him going to trial. is pure bad mind that have in this place.
      last year eddie hadeed name got mixed up in a barrel of week at the harbour but he didn’t even go inside the magistrate court. station bail and never to be questioned again.
