We can't leave discussions about marijuana alone anymore- Hon Fahie
Hon Fahie was at the time a guest of the International Morning Ride Show on ZROD 103.7 FM with host Paul A. Peart aka Gadiethz.
Mr Peart had asked the Opposition Leader and Chairman of the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) his views on the subject.
“For sure we must have those conversations, we must have them because we must sit down and speak about those things. Before people would have said just leave it alone but you can’t leave some of these things alone,” Hon Fahie responded.
God did not create anything bad
Further justifying his stance, Hon Fahie said when he looks at life and reads the Bible there’s nothing created by God that was bad, noting that marijuana, which has medicinal qualities, can be used for bad just ask as someone can use a keyboard to do bad or glorify God.
According to him medicinal marijuana has been proven “and I know.”
“We have to have a discussion to hear the views of the public and bring it forward to see how we can deal with it,” Hon Fahie stated, adding that the process is no different from when cigarettes were illegal and there were debates to consider its legalisation.
‘Alcohol more dangerous than marijuana’
Recently, outspoken clergyman, Bishop John I. Cline said locking up persons for marijuana may not be the best way to go and even suggested its legalisation in the Virgin Islands, commenting that if alcohol, which he believes is more dangerous, can be legalised so can marijuana.
Mr Cline was at the time speaking on his television show "Cross Talk" aired on CBN channel 51 on Saturday February 4, 2017.
"We need to be more of a correctional facility or institution than just punishment. We are spending so much money keeping people in prison for non-violent crimes and the same thing we locking them for now America (USA) is making billions of dollars off of selling marijuana. This is the same thing we got our young men them locked up in jail for, something wrong with that."
Talk show host Doug Wheatley on several occasions has also expressed similar views.

The devil is something u came up with
All seed bearing vegetation is good
He can sit on his porch with whom ever he wants and use as much marijuana whether for medicine or pleasure. The consequences will be between him and God.
