Decriminalising cannabis is one thing, allowing sale and distribution is another.

The PLP Government knows that and it is using a decision it knew would be rejected because of international treaties in order to promote independence through the back door.

People use it now…why not stabilise or economy with legalisation …it’s common sense. Germany is reformed tuit what obligations and to whom?

Considering so few PLP MPs turned up for the vote, clearly not supporting it but being cowards not to vote against, the bill is not popular with the public. Even the AG knew it would not pass. It is merely another tool that Burt is trying to use to go with with his personal Independence/Self Governing agenda.

If Burt really wants to help Bermudians he should, and can easily and swiftly, pass a Bill to expunge the convictions of all those convicted for possession of less than 7 grams. No need to apply as presently required with the fear of repercussions. Why won’t he at least start there? Jamaica did this years ago, why not Bermuda? Presumably because it doesn’t fit with his agenda.

The only reason why the cannabis bill was rejected is because the government feels that they can legalize the importation and export of recreational cannabis. This breaks so many international obligations that it would be likely considered an act of war if they were to allow us to legislate this. I promise you that if they changed that they would get the go ahead to legalize it. However politically they would rather drag it out and make a big debate about it because they are really trying to avoid the religious community that is totally against the recreational use. So they are picking this battle as it is an overseas battle as opposed to a local one. However when the dust settles they will have one of two options do away with recreational import and export or expand on the medicinal side into local production. It’s really that simple but the smokescreen makes it look more complicated.
