Suspected cannabis worth over $700K found by Customs
In a press release on Friday, December 13, 2024, the RVIPF revealed that the suspected cannabis was intercepted during a routine inspection of a container at the Port Purcell Port.
“Custom Officers identified several suspicious items concealed within a shipment. During the routine inspection, the Customs officers discovered multiple vacuum-sealed bags containing green vegetable substance, presumed to be cannabis,” the release continued.
Street value of over $700K
The substance was determined to weigh a total of 71.84 kg (71,840 grams), with an estimated street value of USD 718,400.00.
The matter is currently under investigation and the RVIPF has said additional updates will be provided as necessary.
“The RVIPF commends the diligence and thoroughness demonstrated by the Customs officers in preventing this illegal shipment from entering our communities. The RVIPF continues to collaborate closely with all relevant agencies to ensure the safety and security of the territory,” the RVIPF stated.
HMC call for public assistance
Meanwhile, following the discovery, His Majesty's Cutoms (HMC), in a press release of its own, called on the public to "join the fight against illicit drug trafficing".
Acting Commissioner of Custons, Mr Clinton G. Romney said, "This is a significant win in the Customs Depatment's fight against drug trafficking. It also sends a strong message to those who seek to profit from the importation of illicit drugs."

God made poison ivy but you won’t eat it.
Everything has its purpose.
The reason for THC
THC, the chemical in marijuana that people become addicted to has a specific purpose. Just like roses make thorns to keep animals from eating them, marijuana plants produce THC to keep insects from eating them.
Nicotine works the same way in tobacco. Yes, the Lord made marijuana, and the Lord designed THC, but its purpose is not for human recreation, but for the plant’s defense.
Here’s a really good line that you should underline
God gave man iron. Iron has a purpose. But when men use steel knives to stab people or automobiles to run them over, no one would say in their defense, “God made iron, so he must want people to be stabbed.”
When people take the things that God made for good and use them for evil, that is man’s plan, not God’s purpose.
Then where does the Bible say…
The second question that is often asked then is this: “Where does the Bible tell me not to smoke marijuana?” It doesn’t. Neither does it tell us not to eat strychnine or smoke crack. Nor does it tell us not to smoke Camel cigarettes or not to shoot heroin.
In fact the Bible gives us this direction, All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. (1 Corinthians 6:12)
Lawful, but not expedient
Is marijuana lawful in God’s economy? Yes. Its fiber makes good rope, and perhaps good cloth. Should we then smoke or eat marijuana? The Bible says, “but I will not be brought under the power of any”. Ask any drug-free school teacher, and they will be able to tell you about what happens when a young person comes under the power of marijuana. The effect on a person’s productivity drops off significantly under the influence of THC. The same is true of alcohol and other mind-altering substances. But not only does it decrease productivity, it drastically reduces our chances for salvation. In I Corinthians 6:9-10, the Bible is very clear that drunkenness prevents us from inheriting the kingdom of God.

your body is wired with thc receptors i guess they just there for sport. learn knowledge then speak dont come with your so called book sense which was written by the opressors use your common sense its so bad yet its legal making billions everywhere else only when big pharma say its healthy for you then its ok
tHC is not addictive. it is just the chemical agent that make you feel good, creative, calm, low stress, positive, definitely non-violent and many other positive things.
Like anything else, too much of anything is not a good thing. But you sound like someone pushing opinions with no knowledge of the subject.
I suggest you stop spouting overly righteous nonsense, roll a little joint, go sit under a large tree and you will learn much about yourself and the world around you.
Bless up.
God made medicine for the mind and man comes with a boogey man story to stop you from healing yourself. The only thing in the bible against weed is the order to follow the law. CHANGE THE LAW LEGALIZE IT. No more issue for chirstians. As a christian I feel the law preventing us from natural herbs is against my religion.
It is only the white warmonger who went over the world and outlawed cannabis. The place of origin India is still colonized and screwed in the head arresting their people for a holy plant.
Slavery was legal too. Would you follow the law by owning & whipping yours then quote the bible on it?
