GRAND Bahama police made a drug arrest in Freeport and discovered nearly $20,000 worth of suspected marijuana in bushes near the Casuarina Bridge.

ASP Terecita Pinder said officers of the Rapid Response Unit arrested a 23-year-old male resident of Raleigh Drive on Monday in the Fawcett Lane area. The suspect was allegedly found in possession of a quantity of marijuana.

In a second incident, ASP Pinder said shortly after 4pm on Monday, officers of the Drug Enforcement Unit acting on information discovered three taped packages of suspected marijuana in bushes near a canal while in the area of Casuarina Bridge.

No arrest was made. The drugs weighed about 18.5 pounds and have a street estimated street value of $18,000.

This is poorly written. but my point is continuing to criminalize ganja is ridiculous. legalize it so not only the doctors make money through medical marijuana but regular people can get in on the business.
