Zimbo fined 30K for cannabis

9

Zimbo Howe received a $30,000 fine this week after authorities discovered 2lbs of cannabis and 15 cannabis plants at his Cedar Grove residence.

Acting on valuable information, officers executed a search warrant on June 21. Transparent bags containing the controlled substance, along with cash, were found in his living room.

Further investigation led to the discovery of marijuana plants in pots in the yard.

The seized items, valued at $12,475, were weighed in Howe’s presence at Police Headquarters.

Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh reprimanded him for three offenses, imposing a fine of $30,000 and ordering the confiscation and destruction of the drugs.

Failure to pay within three months could result in an 18-month prison sentence.

  1. Dear PM Browne
    If Marijuana decriminalization is for 15g? Please indicate where the 15g can be obtained legally?

    Thanks

    • @ Melchesidec, This is a question i have asked since day one. as it is right now any person in possession of 15g got it from someone who have more than the legal amount. The powers that be should put in place an outlet when this law was passed or just legalized the plant in full.

  2. 4 trees can produce 2lbs, so If i grow 4 trees then harvest them and start another 4 trees. Am I to throw away anything i harvest over the 15grams . Properly dried and cured weed can last for months. That law is poorly written. It was only intended for Mr.Buyum to make money and get votes from the weed smokers.
    Right now weed smoking is like it is legal in Antigua. Most of our boys and girls are smoking. Our young people are walking around like Zumbies – lost and aimless. This administration has destroyed an entire generation of young people. Now I hear Pastor Charlesworth Brown made a declaration that know weed smokers are allowed to be God parents in his church. So my question is can weed smoking parents be allowed to come to his church. He was up in arms with the government when he was making money on boards / electoral commission.
    This marijuana law and the entire management plus educating our youth on the dangers needs to be dealt with. The entire weed business needs to be properly deal with. I will not vote for this administration because of things like this. They do stuff for vote I repeat and don’t care about the negative consequences. Made announcements about from immediate effect all nationals of Jamaica, Guyana and Dominican Republic are no more required to have work permit. Now they are charging the same people every higher work permit fees. Immigration tell them that they have not received anything in writing from the cabinet. Yet the Camerooanians came here illegally and are getting free work permits. None nationals are not going to vote ABLP ever again.
