The Act among other things will seek to\ncharge a person, a fine not exceeding $500.00 who is found guilty with 56\ngrammes or less of cannabis in his possession. It is an opportune time to\nreiterate the New Democratic Party\u2019s (NDP) position on marijuana as the debate\ncontinues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;It\nwas the NDP through the parliamentary representative for the constituency of\nNorth Leeward, Roland \u2018Patel\u2019 Matthews and Senator, Israel Bruce, who had made\nthe call at a political meeting in Kingstown in 2018; for the government to\ndecriminalize small quantities of marijuana for recreational use; and promised\nthat the NDP will decriminalize small quantities of marijuana for recreational\npurposes when it gets into office. Bearing in mind, the ULP administration at\nthe time had planned to introduce the Medical Cannabis Industry Bill to parliament.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NDP is fully in tune with the\ndevelopments that are taking place worldwide and is cognizant of the history of\nthe region and at home with regards to the usage of marijuana as medicine and\nfor recreation. As a result, the NDP has outlined its position on marijuana:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The NDP supports the initiative of cannabis\/marijuana\n     for medical&nbsp;purposes&nbsp;and publicly called for this&nbsp;long\n     before the Medical Cannabis Industry Bill.<\/li><li>We will focus primarily on traditional farmers and\n     locals who must benefit from the industry.<\/li><li>Appropriate land tenure and licensing strategies must be\n     developed to assist small landless traditional farmers who currently\n     squat.<\/li><li>For the first three (3) years of the regulated industry,\n     licenses should be given to plots of one acre or less.<\/li><li>Decriminalize possession of up to two (2) ounces of\n     marijuana.<\/li><li>Permit possession of two (2) ounces or less for personal\n     use, with appropriate restrictions for use in public places.<\/li><li>Completely expunge all records of convictions for\n     persons convicted of possession of up to 2 ounces of marijuana (including\n     persons currently serving prison sentences.)<\/li><li>Consider making reparations for persons who paid fines\n     for possession of up to 2 ounces of marijuana.<\/li><li>Permit use of the herb for religious purposes without\n     state harassment or discrimination&nbsp;<\/li><li>Permit an individual household to grow up to 5 marijuana\n     trees.<\/li><li>Encourage meaningful partnerships between traditional\n     farmers and local and foreign investors.<\/li><li>Encourage marijuana related industries in a regulated\n     environment.<\/li><li>Work towards legalization of marijuana eventually.<\/li><li>A Marijuana Farmers Association must be promoted.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;Concerns:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The NDP concludes that the Medical Cannabis Industry Bill and the Cannabis Cultivation Amnesty Bill did very\n     little to change the status of marijuana growers.<\/li><li>Most marijuana farmers are landless since they squatted\n     on crown lands.&nbsp;<\/li><li>The empowerment of traditional and local farmers is not\n     promoted in the bills.<\/li><li>The Cannabis Cultivation Amnesty Bill is flawed and\n     exposes traditional farmers to financial loss.<\/li><li>No financial support is provided for traditional farmers\n     who struggled to create the industry.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advancement in science and technology\nhas exposed many myths and falsehoods\nsurrounding marijuana. The discussion on the way forward is hindered by varying\nviews rooted in baseless and unfounded statements regarding marijuana and its\nusage. Every day, the world is rapidly opening up to the understanding that\nmarijuana, a herb, it is not a narcotic but a plant with many benefits for\nmankind.&nbsp; <br>\n<br>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NDP is of the opinion that St. Vincent\nand the Grenadines should take a serious look at what is taking place worldwide\nand comes to the realization that the prohibition of marijuana usage is quickly\nbreaking down. Our efforts should be geared towards preparing our fragile\neconomy to take full advantage of the benefits of marijuana in a manner that\nwill give all stakeholders involved the advantages that this industry has to\noffer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years, Vincentian ganja farmers\nhave done fairly well using their expertise and gain market for their brand of\nmarijuana.&nbsp; During those years, many\nlives have been lost: through transporting the product on the high seas,\nguarding their bases during harvesting of the crop and from police raids; such\nas Vincy Pac. St. Vincent and the Grenadines has a niche in recreational\nmarijuana and every effort should be made to expand now that countries are\nlegalizing and decriminalizing for recreational usage. When Canada legalized\nmarijuana, their entire stock of recreational marijuana was sold out within\nhours. This is a great opportunity for our embassies and trade missions abroad\nto start the process of engagement with businesses and look for opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the change in attitude for most\npeople around the world, and available scientific data to support the long held\nview that marijuana is a relatively safer product when compared to cigarettes\nand alcohol; it is insulting to sensible people why the continued\nprohibitionist view should be given any relevance in today&#8217;s discussion on the\nway forward regarding marijuana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, the party takes on board the\nview of the Caricom Commission on Marijuana which states, \u201cA too limited\napproach to law reform, including one that focuses on medical marijuana would\nbe counterproductive and inimical to the goals of Caribbean developments as\noutlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and endorsed by\nCaricom.\u201d&nbsp; The NDP also supports the view\nof the report of the Commission that declares, \u201cAll criminal penalties from\nmarijuana laws should be removed.\u201d The\nworld is beginning to recognize and accepts marijuana as a herb with medicinal\nvalues, and the stigma that has been wrongfully attached to it for over 100\nyears is eroding rapidly. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Democratic Party weekly column On Monday 1st April 2019, the Unity Labour Party (ULP) Administration will introduce legislation to parliament to amend the Drugs (Prevention of Misuse) Act.
