Two men are due back in court next week for sentencing after pleading guilty to unrelated cases of cannabis possession.
The first defendant, Dwain Branche of Grays Farm, was taken into custody after police raided his Pigotts business late on the night of August 29.
Acting on a warrant, officers searched the premises and discovered a plastic bag containing what appeared to be cannabis. When questioned, Branche admitted the drug was his. He appeared in court on Monday, where he entered a guilty plea. His sentencing is scheduled for Friday.
In a separate case, police charged Orville Nedd and Crystal Jeffers, also of Pigotts, following the discovery of 1.3 pounds of cannabis. Nedd accepted responsibility and pleaded guilty, while prosecutors withdrew the charge against Jeffers. He has been remanded until his sentencing hearing on Monday.
Again I repeat. Why is anyone going to jail or being charged for the use of cannabis? We need better explanations because this makes no sense to me at all.
You are aware that there’s a certain amount you are allowed to have right?
Terry preach to the man with the farm tell him about Certain amount blind and poor politics is the worst curse in antigua you all so scared no freedom of speech
Wait, they still locking up people over a plant that Yah has put here for our healing? What nonsense.
And a expensive license for the rich let them have a FARM and one pound put the poor in jail economic slavery among black masters GREADY AND WICKED THOSE INCHARGE WHAT FELL OFF YOUR HEAD WILL DROP ON YOUR CHILDREN SHOULDER.
I can understand cocaine but we still locking people up for weed?
They are truly overdoing with this cannabis right now!
Sentencing will be interesting to watch, especially with the changing global stance on cannabis.
