      Doesn't seem like breaking news when the only news is arrests have been made. No who, when, where, why or how. Until those questions are answered there is no news!

      The damage which marijuana/ganja has done to the minds of the youth in these islands is heart breaking

        Marijuana alone does not do anything but make you eat and sleep. But they keep mixing all kinds of things to get a stronger head. That is what messes you up.. If it aint home grown do not use it, when you buy it check it before you leave the buyer.

    leave the people alone for thousands of years marijuana has been used as a medicine.

    - Alcohol and cigarettes kills millions of people a year; Marijuana kills none.

    Of the comments posted to date most are once again in favor of criminal activity involving illegal contraband. One too many bloggers show the BVI to be a lawless society where criminals are the heroes. I wonder how long it will take to become overrun with druglords, murders, kidnaps and decapitations? That is where person(s) that want criminal activity to go unpunished want us to end up.
