  4. I was once told my granny. If you have nothing sensible to say keep my mouth shut. You should follow this advice

  5. Where are the criminals and murderers that a blind eye turned to the back of the head, one thing in customs and antigua police they find weed instantly put that same energy in crimes we know you can’t part that up, lady was gathering her 250,000 to get a farm like GASTON come JESUS come.

  6. With global shifts on cannabis, is it time to revisit our laws for medical/regulated frameworks while crushing illegal trade?

  7. If K-9 alerts led to the search, the warrant basis and documentation must be clear to withstand court scrutiny.
