Most discussions surrounding marijuana in Barbados appear
to be centred on the complete legalization of its usage. Its usage under
regulation 4 of the Abuse, Prevention and Control Act calls for its legalization by high-profile persons in the society particularly within the medical and legal professions.
It
has now been stated in parts of the Press that for some time now, there
were laws on the statute books of Barbados for the usage of marijuana
for medicinal purposes.
If this is indeed a reality, then we are likely
to see wider usage of this plant that is reported to be useful in pain
therapy but also contains the mind-altering chemical
delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
It should be stated
that the relevant section of the law mentions the words “controlled
drugs” while other terms used in conventions to which Barbados is a
signatory are “narcotic drugs”, “psychotropic substances” and
“controlled substances”.
However, this latest
development reminds of an unrelated occasion when a legally trained
individual said. “ I do not break the law, I only bend the law”.
When
asked to explain, the person said: “When you break the law, it is like
an egg; you cannot put it back together. When you bend the law, you can
always straighten it out”.
