    They ever leave these drugs alone. Police stop charging these people and find out who’s the leader. I’m sure there’s is someone who’s making these people bring the drugs under their name.

    Hmmm. Almost everyday is the same thing, I guess people are just trying to make money the easy way. Taxes high, vehicle licensing fees increasing. Hmmm. Everybody just wanna make a little money. But guys let’s really get these substances off the streets. They are not good and is bad for your own health

    People still smuggling a legal drug in the country? What I cannot stand is the way these guys walk around smoking spliff right infront the police. It’s almost like…well tek dat. Apart from that these guys don’t even realize that the weed got their lips black and their eyes red and they teeth baige. Some handsome looking guys too. Fellas give up the smoking. There’s already a shortage of men in Antigua.
