Man Jailed For 90 Days: $2,275 Of Cannabis
In Magistrates Court this morning [Aug 30] Tahrik Smith, 35, was sent to jail for 90 days for possession of 45.26 grams [1.59oz] of marijuana which was said to have a street value of $2,275.
Mr Smith received this sentence from Senior Magistrate Archie Warner after he pleaded guilty to being in possession after police had stopped his car, in Devonshire, around 2:00am on 10th March 2012. On searching Mr Smith, Police found 6 clear plastic bags containing twists of plant material which turned out to be marijuana.
Speaking to the Magistrate, Mr Smith said that he was not steadily employed and when he worked, he worked as a part-time truck driver, and had a four year-old child. Before receiving sentence, Mr Smith told the Senior Magistrate: “I’m sorry. This will never happen again. It was not intended for supply. It was for personal use.”
Magistrate Warner commented that this was a lot of drugs for an unemployed man at that time of the morning and packaged the way it was. “But”, the Senior Magistrate said, “He says it was for personal use.”
Pointing out that law treats 20 grams and higher as being intended for supply, saying that as Magistrate he had to be mindful of this, the Magistrate heard submissions from Duty Counsel Aldwyn Savoury who argued that this was Mr Smith’s only and first offence and that he had a clean record. Mr Savoury asked for a Social Inquiry Report and recommended a suspended prison sentence.
The Senior Magistrate said that he had considered all the evidence and mitigating submissions, the clean record of the defendant, and his early guilty plea; but that for this amount of marijuana, and in all the circumstances, an immediate custodial sentence was warranted.
The Magistrate then handed down Mr Smith the 90 day sentence.

Absolutely stupid – throwing a man in jail for this? You out of your mind!!! Get a life. Legalize Ganja!
Ironic how someone can be high and at the same time say someone else must be out of their mind!
and when you have your 4 glasses of wine with dinner, you think you arent in that same place?
Last time I checked, wine wasn’t illegal and never made me ate another man’s face off (recently in Florida – not bath salts, but pot in his system. fact.)
*eat
U NEED 2 GET AN EDUCATION FRUITLOOP
3 MONTHS FOR WEED AND SEX PADO RUN FREE ALL JUDGES EMAIL;S GET EX[POSED
THEN TALK
No wonder your name is ???…you don’t have a clue of what you speak…stick around shut up and listen …you might learn something.
(if its even possible considering the extent of the deterioration of your brain)…
Funny! De herbs has not killed a soul! (FACT)! Alcohol drunk driving kills, Cigarettes kill! (FACT)! Anything that grows NATURAL is good for u! (FACT)! Child Molester gets off FREE! (FACT) A$$HOLES like u need a draw of some goodie! (FACT)! Lay down!
If marijuana makes you turn into a cannibal, then trust me, it won’t gun violence you are worrying about in Bermuda, it be cannibals galore, it be like a zombie movie lol. You are so ignorant for believing that.
Cannabis causes violence, lack of coordination, lack of good judgement and stupidity!
And raises my health insurance bills! Sober up and see the real world Neo.
http://bernews.com/2012/07/trio-found-guilty-of-assaultrobbery/
“The Court heard that the victims were in the area to buy cannabis when the two brothers attacked the male victim, with one brother stabbing the victim with a knife, with the female victim jumping in trying to help defend him.
During this altercation, Ms Simmons was said to have picked up a machete and while attempting to hit the victim accidentally struck her accomplice Ezra Williams instead, leaving him hospitalized.”
Lol… Those are Alcaholics. Not weed head s for your information. Dumb #%*%}%
Alcohol and cigs raise your health bills much more than marijuana, looks like your fighting the wrong battle like most others. Educate yourself
3 things
1: if everybody carries under 20 grams they’re ok
2: the cost of keeping him in jail is expodetially more compared to a fine
3: in bda during drought times there are more fight cuz ppl drink more
It’s just stupid to lock him up even though he was obviously running d street pharmacy. Community service should have been givin…
Exponentially more excuse me
That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, what about the other 2 people that did the same thing? What was in their system? Can’t just pick one. Marijuana has been used since the 1600s (earliest RECORDED date) and when have you heard of someone eating someones face off from using it? Even if marijuana did cause him to eat the mans face clearly the 7/11 was closed. Its impossible to even fight while on marijuana and you want to suggest it made someone loose their mind and canabalistically attack someone? You sir, are dillusional. So by your logic if I smoked a spliff last week, get high for 45mins, this week I walk up to the doors of docksiders and slam an epi-pen straight to the heart, was it the marijuana from last week that turned me into the incredible hulk or the shot of adrenaline? I know I should respect your oppinion but I find it difficult because your an idiot.
LOLOL
I don’t drink.
You don’t drink, you don’t think either lmao
This warranted a MUCH stiffer sentence. First offense? No, first time getting caught. A public flogging should be added to the jail time.
Ask yourself TRULY if you feel the same about drunk people in bars.
So a little more than 2oz of grass in his pocket deserves time in jail? You are so right… good thing child molestors and murderers are getting off. I feel so much safer with a pot heat behind bars than a child rapist! Good thing Bermuda has people like you… otherwise child molesters would be locked up and dangerous pot heads would be out there roaming the streets!
I don’t even smoke the stuff… but I’m sick of people being jailed for grass. A public flogging?… really?… something wrong with you mate… get a life.
I so agree with you. All the thugs running around on bail etc… unsolved crimes and going to lock up someone for weed. SMH
As a bartender…………I can see the pros weed…no lie. When there is a drought the weed smokers drink……….not a good idea the violence is rampant when drunk……normal guys that normally smoke act reckless and turn into loud obnoxious disrespectful violent patrons as opposed to calm laid back cool humble people…..we are talking about a weed that literally grows freely – no added chemicals no “chefing” up weed in the kitchen………I’d rather be in a roomful of smokers than drinkers any day but it come with the job……………let’s make jail for the people that pose a true threat to OUR community….I won’t disrespect anyone’s opinion BUT I will say those that oppose weed need to look left and right because u would be very surprised the amount of professional ppl that do indulge in weed …..I worked in exempt companies and had VPs ask if I know where they can get pounds……true story….politicians too lol but you’d rather focus on the down n out guy that’s just trying to stay calm……to each their own….if you’re not hurting anyone you should be able to decide what you want to smoke…..cigarettes kill and we know this – legal? Ok……….alcohol -drunk drivers how many deaths? Legal ok?…wth…shucks let me stop before I get into my conspiracy theory mode…
i wonder how many murderers where released to make room for this vegetarian criminal….thank god they got that plant material off of him ….doesnt he know he could have died that night after inhaling such a toxic fumes…i wonder if the police had to bring in the hazardous waste truck and robots to collect evidence …..wwhhheewww! good work guys…
Law is the Law, point being:Don’t get caught, that simple.
You are right… bring back slavery dang it! Law is the law…
so basically it’s all a GAME…win some you lose some huh??
this all about trying to generate revenue…they really cant invent new taxes for the Bermudian …so find out what the majority likes …then make it punishable by law…revenue …but hang on …i didnt see where a fine was imposed …jus straight jail …3 months …how much will that cost tax payers??
or if u can explain the logistics of it all ….im dumbfounded by the ignorance of people in power…supposedly educated..?
Supposedly educated?
You are clearly not!!
Shut up FUTURE Because we know that liquor the effects of liquor are much more devastating. Liquor kills. Luquor ruins families. I dont know who yo are but i know uour an idiot. You also 9pk.
At least they can spell! Try sending your comments when you aren’t high. LOL
Yeah, why not go soft on drug dealers. Let’s give up all hope of civilization. Let anyone do what the hell they want. Push drugs, drive drunk, molest kids, steal from shops, steal taxpayer’s money. Why bother trying to stop any of it. Give up.
Being hard on drugs has done what? Other than build drug dealing empires, the profits of selling the drugs used to buy allegiance and weapons.
Were doomed.
Old Bermudian Laws need To be Changed, but until then it is what it is…. Remember you don’t go jail for doing the deed, you go jail for getting caught… so as 9PK says Don’t get caught!!!!
makes no sense to lock this man up for 2k of weed when it cost the tax payer 19k to house this man for three months i think the money could be spent better elsewhere not to mention the 90 dollars he will leave jail with because he will get one dollar a day just for being lockd up…yes the law is the law and we must abide by it thats true but whats real is the whole world is in debt and we are still locking people up for things such as petty as this….
I couldn’t have said it better
What a half witted comment. The cost to society is much higher (no pun intended) than the street value of the weed this fool had. And it is much higher than 19k. Look around you! To use an analogy, I had some vegetables stolen. They cost say $100. I can put up at $10,000 fence to DETER(not stop theft) and you say the theft only caused me to lost $100? Count the cost of the skills lost from people who just give up growing food. Arable land left bare…stop being so stuck in the left hemisphere of the brain (funny how herb heads no so litle about e brain) and see the whole picture. You count the oat to society as $2k cause you ain’t accounting for the full cost of foolishness!
You are funny! Why don’t you use this same passion against Alcoholics, or even coke or heroine users?? I’ve never seen you comment on those stories when thye are published. Seems to me like you have a vendetta against marijuana period!
Now you are a cyber stalker? You don’t know jack about what I post or what I do not. And yes, all those drugs plus even things posing as food (sugar in high enuf amounts) are harmful. No excuse for weed tho. Weed users have compromised capacity to reason (something else is bad so the bad thing i am doing is good?) and it shows.
Can you imagine? Getting time for a plant that was created by God… The bible speaks of bitter herbs for men’s diet. This is a prosecution against God.
so tru whistling frog
More half witted comments. Certain mushrooms are far more poisonous than any man made chemical. Should this “made by God” mushroom be fed to your mother, I am sure you would want the culprit to do time….or worse. Wake up and get off the weed.
“Get off the weed”
>Implying that ya boy is hooked on marijuanna
hhaahahahaahhahahaaha
ABC sucks c@%k.
And so good of you too mention mushrooms, you can find psilocybin mushrooms in Bermuda growing wild if you know what youre looking for. Go take a walk down spittle pond and look out for some.
Ok then, so why are mushrooms not illegal in Bda?
CAN YOU JUST assume that all the comments supporting weed are going to be half witted in your opinion and call it a day? you dont need to remind everyone every time. every one is entitled to their opinion, and you have stated yours VERY clearly. we get it.
WOW. It amazes me people are calling for MORE jail time and public floggings. They don’t even know how naive they really sound. Marijuana is a plant that only needs sunlight and water, it grows from a seed just as any other vegetable, fruit or herbs you may consume. Instead of going by everything your teachers taught you, try educating yourself on the subject, then you will be in a better position to comment.
Don’t get me wrong, it is still illegal, but think about this. Is it the marijuana who is making him the criminal or the law itself.
To be locked behind bars for use of mind altering drug, is the most hypocritical laws we have in our books. Fact.

Thanks Bernews.
Seems some people took over where you left off. You are not the only one capable of making ignorant comments.
I think he lost his case . Oh well just another dummie who’ll need to line up for a waiver .
This is totally over the top by the magistrate.
Considering, “Duty Counsel Aldwyn Savoury who argued that this was Mr Smith’s only and first offence and that he had a clean record. Mr Savoury asked for a Social Inquiry Report and recommended a suspended prison sentence.”
Why would he take it upon himself to imprison this man…
The let guys that hurt people off on susp. sentences, they let people that mess with kids off on susp. sentc.
This system is unjust and people should RISE UP and let the points be heard.
Shut up douglas u jacka%s. I can tell u just from ur remark that i’m mentally superior to u.
He should have had 1.59 oz of Codeine much safer!
Wow really…. 2275? 45g? U better dink again cause dats only 975 tops….dumb @sses
If it’s usually $600 for 1oz (28 grams), how would it be $2275 for less than 2oz?
Either the person doing the math up in the BPS is an idiot, or police have no clue wtf is going on.
How can you say its worth so much? Must have been that exotic piece if it was worth that much..
He had 6 quarters which are worth $150 each. On the street that’s $900. The police are still going by the 1980s street value “if sold in half gram wraps” which is unfair cuz no one really sells it like that anymore. When they put at that kind of value it makes it look like it’s worth way more to the judge and jury. A half gram wrap is valued at $50 to them that’s why it’s at over $2000. The system is a fraud.
if god didnt want it here he wouldnt have made it….Humans playing God tsk tsk …
the only reason weed is illegal is cause of this guy Harry J. Anslinger because he believed that marijuana made white women seek relations with black man and hispanics it was all do to racism in the 1930′s blah anyway weed is safe and good for u i smoke it every day and enjoy edibles as well i cant wait for god to come back and tell the rest of the ignorant people in the world who are against a harmless plant that makes me laugh, hungry, helps make me go to sleep and calms my upset stomach when it is upset …….
again i repeat tho if God said its good its good down with the whitemans laws….yes its a race thing F a mushroom this aint about mushroom that we know are poisonous this is about a plant that we know is good kick rocks ….with open toe flip flops if your against pot …… boooooooooo….!!!
Genesis 1:12
English Standard Version (ESV)
12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
……
Quoting the white man’s book (full of lies) and dissing the white man? Make up your mind…oh that means you would need to stop getting high. Half witted herb heads don’t have the first clue how weed works. What part of the brain does it stimulate? How?
Every single herb head I know is paranoid by their own admission.
IS THAT WHAT WE WANT? AN ISLAND FULL OF PARANOID PEOPLE? Grow up and deal with life without some hallucination inducing substance. In other words get real.
LOL
You are clearly an idiot, weed does not make you hallucinate. ALL of your points are stupid and show your complete lack of knoledge on marijuana. I wasn’t even going to comment but you sheer ignorance aggrevates me. Like someone else said, the plant doesn’t make him a criminal, the law and the system does. As of right now he’s not contributing to society (insurace, pension, income in general), the war on drugs, or marijuana in Bermuda, has nothing to do with a dangerous plant and everything to do with locking up an unwanted populace, the government hates competition. You don’t like marijuana, good more for me, stop worrying about what other people do if it doesn’t hurt you, you should be more concerned with automatic weapons hitting our streets. To be quite honest, I would smoke a spliff giving you a clear advantage as you seem to think, and still out perform you in ANY physical activity. So from the bottom of my rotting pot head mind, go f@ck yourself.
Future you clearly are so uneducated on the topic. I suggest you do some research. When you old farts finally disappear us young folks will leagalize it, so i guess we just need to bide our time.
Weed has never killed anyone. Not one person. Alcohol kills people every minute of every day. Cigarettes kill people every minute of every day. Alcohol makes people violent and overinflates their ego. Weed makes people calmer, and makes them more concious of their behavior. Please tell me why then is weed illegal? America maybe?
Oh so now weed causes hallucinations?!!! Hahaha what a tool. You’ve obviously never smoked a day in your life so u don’t have a clue what u r talking about. Get off your high horse and have a Dooby, might mellow u out a bit. U say weed heads don’t even have a clue how it works, but u prob only know because u had to sit down and study. Might have been a bit easier if u had a draw or two. Lol!!! Not all weed smokers are paranoid idiots u know. A good chunk of them are in highly influential positions but I guess they must know something else about it that they aren’t tellin everyone. Give it a rest already, the only paranoid one here is u.
@ future go have a few dark and stormys or drink a bottle of chivas and go for a drive of a cliff ……..u and your opinion should be at the bottom of the sea
I couldn’t have said it any better. Any fool spitting up made up effects of weed obviously have never indulged. Alcohol was once illegal and people went jail for. But cause the white men sold it for profits the laws were changed by white men. I have been working in my field for 17 years and one of my companies best assestts all while gettin high on weed my whole career. It is not for everyone just like alcohol, it comes down to the individual. I wud bet my bottom dollar that every person against it on here knows someone they respect that smoke it without their knowledge. To think of it, its just about time for a smoke. Can’t wait for 4:20
Should have dealt cocaine and stashed the twists at da base of some tree. That bie only got $800 fine. Nil jail time.
Da punishments in Bermuda are too inconsistent. Be it drug crime, a sex offence, a firearms possession even a DUI. The judges\magistrates send mixed messages. I believe those imposing sentences should also be held accountable by the public. So many outcries of misjustice i hear. They (in particular Warner and Tokunbo)should be replaced.
Quoting Superior Judges Association (of Canada)
The judge\magistrate is ‘the pillar of our entire justice system’, and the public has a right to demand ‘virtually irreproachable conduct from anyone performing a judicial function’. Judges must strive for the highest standards of integrity in both their professional and personal lives. They should be knowledgeable about the law, willing to undertake in-depth legal research, and able to write decisions that are clear and cogent. Their judgment should be sound and they should be able to make informed decisions that will stand up to close scrutiny. Judges should be fair and open-minded, and should appear to be fair and open-minded. They should be good listeners but should be able, when required, to ask questions that get to the heart of the issue before the court. They should be courteous in the courtroom but firm when it is necessary to rein in a rambling lawyer, a disrespectful litigant or an unruly spectator.
I wonder what the Bermudian version of the Judges association would quote.
and honestly when you think about it weed is a beautiful flower especially the purps imagine just how much beautiful botanical gardens would be with a few different strands growing in the garden ….Eye Candy at its best….pistals sparkle like diamonds in the sun …
It’s crazy how many people think the ‘War on drugs’ is a good thing.
The only people who like the war on drugs more than the old conservatives are the drug dealers, if the products they sell weren’t being sold on a black market they wouldn’t make money. That means they would need normal jobs, that means they wouldn’t be able to afford the high price of weapons and ammunition, wouldn’t need to pay anyone for their silence.
One day the old ways will die out, and people will learn lessons from the mistakes of the past(Alcohol Prohibition).
You make way to much sense for many. Common sense solutions are outweighed by propaganda and highly emotional and judgmental people that can’t see past what they believe is best versus what is best for the greater good of society. Heaven forbid try something new and change the status quo.
If drugs were legal and dealers went out of business what do you think they’d do? Medical school or violent crimes?
It’s not as straightforward as a debate as people on both sides always seem to make out.
Funny thing is the guy who assaulted his girlfriend got off scott free!! How’s that for a justice system, heavy on plants, light on assault! Makes good sense to me!
Bernews is becoming a chief vehicle for highlighting why Bermuda’s mother’s need to stop enabling their son’s to “sit off” wasting their talent, getting high (and blogging on their mama’s Internet connections). The comments from the weed heads are insane but someone is enabling these pacified junkies. 2012 and they still don’t know getting high is their enemies’ idea to pacify them. It is only for chumps.
Hahahahahaha!!!!! Using our mama’s Internet connection? Where did that come from? Grasping at straws now r we? Lmfao!!!
Future if you are so passionate and strong in your comments why dont you post under your real name? Is online the only place you are passionate and strong? I think so
hey… Future…i hope you read all the comments after you opened your mouth and all the S#!T fell out at 6:20am this morning….coz your a$$ was certainly handed to you on a platter brah ….whew
You sound like G.W.Bush….lmfao!!!
ps. by the way change your name …coz ya makin’ me think there is NO FUTURE with people of your mentality …gosh i hope the tourists don’t read your comments …how damaging is that …showing the ILLITERACY rate of most “sheeple” here on the island…oh ya …one more thing …you are showing signs of acute paranoia usually a sign of ummmm… COCAINE use…maybe that subject you would be more familiar ..?
i was gonna stop but i cant…hahaha…i hope you do not use “LEGAL” pharmaceuticals…Engineered DePoPulation…so DON’T EVER THINK YOU ARE ANY BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE…u need to wake up!
u guys on here making weed out 2 be so bad but how many ppl in high positions smoke COCAINE…. n yall dont have a problem with it because they are functioning addicts. gtfohwtbs. half of the ppl running this island r on damn drugs smh so get a life thats y bermuda is where is is. alcohol is legal and it has the worst effect on ppl but that doesnt stop prison officers, police and now fire fighters from having their own clubs…. damn and spring garden is full of lawyers and judges daily so wth. let a ni$%# smoke some weed if he wants every1 has a drug of choice
http://www.channel4.com/news/teenage-warning-heavy-cannabis-use-lowers-your-iq
This may explain the incoherent commentary by the weed heads. Let the pacified chumps grasp at that.
you call people who smoke weed pacified chumps????
wow. lay off the name calling…you will stop tourists coming to the island!!
what about the chumps who used to illegally produce moonshine? and now alcohol is legal. You telling me you don’t drink? You just have to pick your poison….
You are a chump.
Um…… Not sure u r using the word pacified in the right context. And all that link u posted said was that u shouldn’t smoke it till after u r 18. So essentially u shot yourself in the foot with that one. Lol.
Yes pacified is in the right context. Weed pacifies those who smoke it. Hence the most active thing they ever do….is blog and complain on bernews. Pacified and on a path to sissified. And if u understood the article, that requires IQ, the older you are, yes, the less PERMANENT damage that is done. But all are damaged during indulgence. (note most weed heads don’t have enough functioning brains cells BEFORE they start to smoke. Can u really afford less?) Teenagers and people below 30, are still in a formative stage and thus will permanently corrupt the development of their nervous system. I would go on to talk about the pollution of the synaptic gaps but…let the weed heads think they are knowledgable scientists…meanwhile the Europeans happily laugh as the weed heads willingly subscribe to a weapon of mass (black) destruction….
“Hence the most active thing they ever do….is blog and complain on bernews.”
So does the same go for people who drink alcohol. Is the most they do is complain on bernews. Remember, for every generalized statement you make about weed you MUST be apply it to alcohol in order for you not to be a hypocrite. If you think people can drink moderately and have a successful life as the majority of people do, then the same applies for weed. So your constant referral to everyone that smokes a joint as lazy, useless, etc. has to go the same for everyone that has a glass of wine. You can’t be okay with one and not the other or your argument is null and void. And you are of course entitled to an opinion whether it makes logical sense or not.
Just love how u assume I have a low IQ. Must be all the weed I guess. Lol. It makes no sense to even argue anymore being as the pieces of paper u read clearly states that it’s bad for u, so it must be taken as truth. Feel like a champ now?
Personally I believe cannabis is 100% less harmful than anything that’s man-made. I have seen the comments. And whoever says that cannabis is unhealthy for you, I would have to disagree. It maybe not for YOU(just like how drinking isn’t for some people) Archuble Warner told me this personally, if i think cannabis is misjudged, I should try an change the law. The law is already is place, we would have to come together and prove are case/cause. Arguing among are self’s isn’t going to get anywhere.. We need to come together, and let the government know that marijuana shouldn’t be illegal. We need to show them its the healing of the nation!!
That is, ironically, sick.
A co worker argued with his supervisor where I work almost daily, refusing to redo work he did the day before. Apparently he was getting high during lunch, and was convinced he had done the work the prior day. In relity he was in a mice for hours. Healing of the nation my foot. Bunch of dreamers.
Future your still in the past get back to the present..we are born with thc in our system all of us have a look at this link… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid Also you cant compare that guy at your job with any other smoker,,4 example portugeese drink all day when they work but they will build you the perfect house,a next guy could have 1 drink and cant walk or drive,,,and in case you didnt know most european countries have either decrimanilized weed or they tolerate it…weed was good enough back in the day for the 4 fathers to sign the declaration of independence on,,it was good enough for people to make clothing and rope and thousands of other things out of natural products and now its the worst drug on earth by most peoples opinon come on be for real and do some RESARCH
It is not the worst drug on earth. Alcohol, another natural drug, kills and harms far more. So what. Do your research and you will see “how marajuana affects you” in factual terms. 85% of the people who apply for jobs at a local establishment fail the basic academic test. 80% fail the drug test, knowing they are going to be tested. This is not a coininidence. Mentally and physically pacified = economic chumps. Do your research objectively!
Alcohol is NOT natural by any means.
One more thing. Marajuana is natural. Smoking it is not.
future u lack attetion
maybe ur boss gives u a 6 month hair drug test
dat cocaine got u ……………..
and what local establishment are you talking about maybe that happens in bermuda and the us but not in the rest of the world,and if its not treated as the worst drug around then why do people get harder sentenceing when caught with weed,,you get less time for killing someone in bermuda than you would if you got caught with a couple ponds of weed,and the taxpayer always ends up paying more than the actual drug is worth to house these so called crimanls,we could take note from places like portugal,nethelands,brazil,canada,cyprus,czech republic and many others at leats half of europe have either decriminalized it or tolerate weed and the rest are considering it so please inform of what world you are liveing in
One more thing, marijuana DOES NOT have to be smoked to be ingested. Vaporizing, consuming through foods, teas are all possibilities to be more natural and not have the ill affects from smoking. Did you already know this? It’s very basic information. The reason most smoke it is because it takes a lot more marijuana to consume through the other methods and as long as its illegal and expensive people will try and get more bang for their buck so to speak. Just another reason to legalize and regulate. Regulation means putting age limits like alcohol and tobacco to discourage use in children. As a matter of fact, marijuana is easier for children to get than alcohol or cigs, so being illegal actually makes children MORE likely to use.
paedophiles get off.. gunmon n murderers get off…. weed man goes jail for 3 months for having the buds from plants that grow from the earth….. yeah weed is so bad.. i think about shooting someone everytime i smoke a spliff.. then i get hungry..eat food..n go 2 sleep !! wake up bermuda… decriminalize the ganja
