Marijuana Laws Need To Be Changed Now
There are
now many judges, politicians, scientific experts and common citizens who are
very convinced that the current marijuana laws are not working and Barbados’s Attorney
General and Minister of Home Affair Adriel Brathwaite has stated recently that
he has been having some doubts about Barbados is leading a successful war
against the herb and if the current laws are effective at all.
Brathwaite
spoke at the National Consultation on the Anti-Drug Plan, which was a surprise
to some, as nobody expected to hear the judge talk about the current marijuana laws the
way that he did. The High Court judge recommended the legalization of cannabis
and the regulation of some drugs for personal use.
According
to the judge’s speech, he is certain that legalizing is the best option now, as
the wide scale use of marijuana is now visible everywhere and it is obvious
that it is not going away ever. Cannabis
has been used for millennia and it has helped a lot of people to continue with
a normal life, even after being diagnosed with a severe disease or illness;
this is why there is very little chance that the use of cannabis will stop all
of a sudden.
The Marijuana Laws Need A Reform
During his
speech, Brathwaite talked about several of his points of view and they all seem
very smart and logical. Some of the things that the Barbados judge said were, “now
it is not just the boys on the block (smoking marijuana) but the girls on the
block too. If you go to football games across Barbados, it is almost the norm.
There was a time when the boys used to hide but now boys and girls are openly
smoking. There was a time I thought we were losing the fight when I used to see
marijuana being used openly in communities, but I am not sure how I feel about
it this morning.”
These words
prove how Brathwaite no longer believes in the current marijuana laws and how
he is only one of the millions who are already convinced about this. What
Brathwaite stated about marijuana being consumed by both boys and girls openly
in public, is not only true in Barbados, as this scene repeats itself all over
the world.
While there
might be some leaner or tougher laws in each country, the use of cannabis is
increasing all over the world and it is obvious that the current regulations
have not helped at all. The legalization of cannabis could help the economy,
tourism and most important of all, it can be used as a medicine and it has been
scientifically proven that it does benefit some patients.
So let’s
start to change our points of view about cannabis and admit that what has been
done by our governments and police enforcers has simply not worked. Please
