Cannabis washed ashore in Barbuda
Police in Barbuda seized over seven pounds of Cannabis Hashish on the sister isle on Friday.
A total of twelve packages with the tarry substance were picked up offshore Weirs Beach and handed over to the Narcotics Department.
The substance weighed 7 ½ pounds and has an estimated street value of EC$30,000.
Hashish is a derivative of the cannabis plant after the plant goes through a compression process to extract the resin, mostly from the flower buds of the female plant. It is mostly consumed by smoking.
Further investigations are ongoing into the matter.
