It’s just a tree they make it look so bad 😐 why don’t they go look for all the missing persons, and stop making weed look like it’s doing anything to people by itself
Is the Trinidad boy they were looking for an buck up on d plantation
Cultivating the wrong place at the wrong time..
CHUPS!!!What’s unlawful about a plant- one among all that the Almighty has given us? What needs to happen is a doing away of the colonizer mindset and free the weed!!! CHUPS!!!
Cultivating marijuana in Antigua is a waste of time. With people constantly gone missing in Antigua which requires searching groups, these illegal cultivation will come upon. You’re required to plant four marijuana plants in your yard, why not do as the law stated.
People still going to jail for growing a tree that God made. JUSTICE FOR CHANTEL. JUSTICE FOR YENIFER. JUSTICE FOR THE JAMES GIRL, JUSTICE FOR MANNY JAMES. JUSTICE FOR BRUCE GREENAWAY. GO find the missing people. PASSO. VINCIA. WHO KILLED THE FEMALE POLICE OFFICER. SHE DIDNT UNALIVE HERSELF. Go get real bomboclatttt work fi do and stop harrass man for a little weed. SO MUCH CRIME IN THE LAND. You sit your lazy ass giving people traffic tickets when you get board and arresting YOUTEMAN for a little herb. FIRE BUN POLICE
I can’t help but jump on your comment, I mean. The priorities of the police are messed up. Missing people and more but a weed tree becomes your center of attention. They can’t find missing people if all these police do is drive around in AC trucks, chatting and laughing. The country is falling apart but you charging a man for irrelevant plants. And yes we believe that police officer never unalived herself
Free up the herb. Go look for those selling cocaine to the young people. God must be angry that a plant he created has caused so much pain and suffering in this land
He with no sin cast a stone.. that’s definitely not me
But let the police leave them with the cannabis and it’s a different word under Antigua.news post. Can’t please humans
