BEEF ISLAND, VI- A quantity of marijuana sent to the Virgin Islands via a FedEx package was intercepted at the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport on December 17, 2020, according to reports reaching Virgin Islands News Online.

Our newsroom was informed by well-placed sources that the package weighed 1304 grams.

According to reports, airport authorities became very suspicious of the package after a scent of cannabis was detected.

The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) was reportedly called in and the suspicion was confirmed.

The package was reportedly addressed to a female known to police and sent by an unidentified male using a fake mobile phone number.

    Reason marijuana is seen as a drug is because of the white man, cause we surely know Gid the Almighty created the marijuana and said in Genesis 1 v 29 it was for use of man, and even in the 3rd day of creation God said all herbs is good. So our problem is the white man

      Some point to a verse in Genesis in which God says he gave us all the “herbs” to use. This is based on faulty logic.

      The actual passage is Genesis 1:29 that reads, “And God said, ‘See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.’”

      Herbs are for food.

      Secondly, if marijuana is good for us, then what about thornbushes, poison ivy, poison berries, and the like?

      Remember, Satan also used the Scriptures deceptively when he came to Eve and said ... “Did not God say...” Let’s not make the same mistake!

        Herbs not only meant to be eaten, they can be used in different ways. the tea you drink in the morning comes from a herb. Weed have a number of healing properties that have helped people world wide. It only illegal cause of the stigma that “the white man” put on it in order to keep big pharma running!! just cause something is illegal doesn’t make it wrong or immoral.

    That is serious. Do you see that the governor knows what he is talking about now? We cannot bury our head in the sand.

    Understand that marijuana isn't illegal everywhere. It's legal for recreational use is many places but they can't travel with it. Maybe it was being sent ahead of time for vacation??

      @ Oregano: Wow, quite a vacation that if it involves smoking up 24 ounces of weed...why didn’t FedEx set up a sting? I’m sure nothing to do with the possibility of the recipient being well connected. And, so much for local cultivators...
