Kevon S. Lettsome advocates legalising cannabis in the VI
This, according to Kevon S. Lettsome, who is calling on legislators in the VI government to consider legalising cannabis for ‘Recreational Purposes’ in the Territory.
Lettsome in his argument noted that “in a time where we are still in recovery mood and with the United Kingdom (UK) undermining us with borrowing those loans and even in the process of hijacking our financial services sector one of our main pillars, I’m more so now, convinced that it’s indeed time to legalise cannabis for recreational purposes.”
Cries of our People
He told this publication, “we have all heard the cries of our people, where some are saying we are a Christian community; it’s going to elevate crime and even elevate education drop-outs.”
According to Lettsome, “…perhaps, what I’ll say is, we as BVIlanders need to graduate from the judging a book by its cover mentality, for I, Kevon S. Lettsome, know, without a doubt in my mind that legalising cannabis for recreational purposes will strengthen our economy; create entrepreneurs, create jobs and inaugurate a pillar in Virgin Islands.”
The young Virgin Islander said in his advocacy “let’s not have anyone misinterpret, as I’m for legalising cannabis for recreational purposes but against substance abuse.”
Pointing the naysayers, Lettsome, conceded “I’m sure many persons have thought about this notion but have failed to come up with the tools to ensure legalizing cannabis for recreational purposes in the Virgin Islands.”
Regulation
He drew reference however to the State of Colorado’s (USA) Amendment 64—which the VI can adopt some or even all— where regulation governs cannabis for recreational purposes.
Colorado’s Amendment 64 is, a successful popular initiative ballot measure to amend the Constitution of the State of Colorado, outlining a statewide drug policy for cannabis.
Some of the laws in the amendment are:
· Adults 21 years of age or older, can legally possess 1 ounce of cannabis.
· Adults 21 years of age or older, will need a government issued identification to prove one is 21 years or older.
· Adults 21 years of age or older, can only purchase 28 grams in a single transaction which is only served once a day.
· Cannabis stores can only operate from 8am until Midnight.
· Adult 21 years of age or older, will be given a DUI if their driving with more than 5 nanograms of cannabis in their blood.
These, he said, could be consolidated with other measures domestically formulated in the VI for implementation across the Territory.

5 helps with spiritual refining (if indeed that’s what u covet) breaking the spell of religious affairs. With proper research and relearned mindset that can only come from YHWH in seeking highly filtered truths about the life or the world that we call the [norm]
There seem to be many concerns. However no examples, this negative bias may be a case of allowing fear to replace logic.
Over the years many person have commented that cannabis does not mix well with them, or they simply do not enjoy cannabis.
Personally I have never I heard or read of any person who commented that cannabis messed them up for life.
All except the persons who were arrested for their cannabis.
The people who already use it will continue to do so whether illegal or not.
Makes sense to me to stop arresting people for choosing to use a plant which may or may not help them.
Persons who can not benefit or mentally handle cannabis will not use it, as their personal choice.
Many persons don't use attend festival or use alcohol as their personal choice.
we don't arrest the people who do, no matter if we believe it harms their spirit and body.
Logic and reasoning.
Go do research and see where it came from and the different uses and who used it and why they made it illegal
Don't jus take what these people tell u . Every man not child to their one order . They don't have no balance, pride and defiance is what they use to transfer the minds to their way of thinking. No promotion of any drugs whether It b pharmaceutical or elicit but promote natural resources to perform the healing which will b ruff cause the system won't get the cut they want from it
For tooo long the powers that b have sacrificed the lives of the territory for their personal gain (yep they the ones moving the dope and act like they don't know what's going on) PHYSCH OPS
