    • Get those pills and other harder drugs off the street. And give away very harsh penalties for the offenders. Send a clear message to hard drugs sellers.

      The weed and cigarettes are enough for this little nation, we love call Antigua and Barbuda. We can’t afford to have all these different harder drugs in our communities.

  1. Murdah how come talk don’t charge so much bail for murder or rape?….much less a longer sentence caz he a known drugs man oh ok

  2. He should have been detained in 1735 until trial, and given a toothbrush to clean the toilets. Why raised this guy anyway?

  3. Who go take dat ? Sad day when ppl start fi use dem tings inna Antigua boy. Man pon ecstasy wan wash you cyar inna town and end up a kiss up the back glass. No man.

  4. This guy is trying to introduce our youth to a new height. The sad thing is we really need to protect our youth as much as possible. Cause peer pressure has it that many will try it. My college years drugs were in abundance. But strange enough you had a differentiation. Within the black community we didn’t really mess with the scientific drugs. Such as LSD, Angle Dust, Speed. Those were considered white guys drugs. We just smoked the spliff of weed, and sometimes with some hashish. And those highs were controllable. But the other scientific ones had some of those white guys and girls committing suicide and overdoses.
    To me this guy should have been made an example and send straight to 1735 to wait for his trial. Or a bail set so high that he could never pay it. He is a danger to our youth. he doesn’t have their wellbeing in mind.
