Ganja Economics ?

[RedVEVO]

" ... On the streets of Kingston, Jamaica you can buy a half ounce of high-grade local ganja for J$1,000 (TT$60). That same half-ounce will cost you TT$300 here ... "

Because in the rural areas in Clarendon and St Catherine, is regular poor people growing in their backyards and selling it to men that carrying it across to Kingston. It ever cheaper in the countryside where it growing.

Never forget a time a few years ago, fella give a man 100JMD (about 5-6TTD) in St Catherine. Man say he soon come back, running round the corner to his house. 10 minutes later he come back, hands cupped and full, dropping a whole set in the man hands that pay him.

Nicest people you'd ever meet honestly

The cacahole PM says he is not interested in legalizing Ganja because he prefers to remain ignorant when it comes to science and economics.

Only way is to vote out this retarded PNM government and get one capable of reason

Agree with ED , although he has fallen on his head many a times .

PM should debate it and see what HIS people have to say about ganja economics .

“It is a clearer approach and I never said that we will not address it. I said Trinidad and Tobago’s position is the position as agreed to in the written communiqué issued after the Caricom meeting in Montego Bay,” Rowley wrote .. "

“It not being a priority, given all that we are grappling with now, does not mean that it cannot be dealt with. I will put a Government team in place to open a simple straightforward dialogue in the country and after we inform a wider national community we then take a policy position and act upon it .. "

Ganja talk good for TT

THE EDITOR: A key component of a functioning democracy is the freedom to air your views, and in this regard, I want to salute the many professional and amateur commentators, both past and present who continue to enrich our culture with their well-researched and reasoned opinions on a wide variety of matters affecting the fortunes of TT.

A great example of the above is the current national debate on the best way forward regarding marijuana. From my observation point, it would seem that the nation is fairly evenly divided between leaving the laws as they are and decriminalising the possession of small amounts of the weed.

Before I declare my hand on the issue I would like to recommend everyone reading this to get hold of an 18th century book called On Liberty by John Stuart Mill, in which he forcibly argues that, “For a crime to be committed, there must be a victim.” In the case of someone smoking a marijuana joint, who exactly is the victim?

In the past 48 years of observing people smoking marijuana, drinking alcohol and smoking legal cigarettes I am convinced that all three of them cause damage in proportion to their level of usage, but I am still not sure why marijuana was ever made illegal. I am not advocating its use here but simply evaluating its potential to do harm compared to other legal drugs such as alcohol and nicotine.

Now, here are the main reasons why marijuana should be decriminalised, and they have been enunciated by other writers way more eloquent than me. In an age where the worst forces of evil seem to be outstripping those of the police, prosecution, judiciary and prison services, why would you want these valuable state resources distracted from dealing with serious crime, to deal with marijuana smokers.

It would appear to be the better thing to do, since you can also collect tax revenue from marijuana, as many forward-thinking jurisdictions are now doing.

Daran, either you don't know what an oz is , or somebody sell you an oz of high quality French hay for €50

You'll be dam lucky to pay €10 a gram in Paris.

In the US it average about $190 - 250 an oz decent quality.

why Rowley hate Ganja so much though?

I was told by a pusher man in work that he voted PNM so that Ganja will remain illegal so he could continue to make money, being a PNM supporter his main source of income is crime. Apparently he has a job but it isn't enough not only does he steal the soap powder detergent he also has to sell weed so if it become illegal he says he will turn to serious crime to survive since everybody will be able to plant their own tree or buy weed in a drug store.

Wouldn't mind growing a few plants at home if this became legal.

[No_Name]

^^PM should debate it and see what HIS people have to say about ganja economics .

Since HIS PPL maintain majority of the blocks...

Despite that, HIS PPL go still go PEE-N-EM meetings to clap & wave...

No worries to them, if weed Decriminalized, HIS PPL go jus turn to the OTHER HARDWORKING PPL to rob to maintain their useless lives...

What is the price in Holland ?

Last time i went it was between 9-16 Euro for 1 gram of sativa, hybrid or indica but many places do 25 Euro for 2 grams (from a cafe). Don't know about out on the street-though.

Forgive me, i'm wrong. At first I was comparing grams to ounces, but I checked some texts with my Parisian link, guy was giving me an insane bulk discount.

I have tins of half ounce @ €85. (Blueberry cheesecake) gelato 41 €15 a gram and biscotti €15 a gram (cookies sf). Take two tins for €130

I usually buy large amounts to last a month so i took two tins for €130....just realized this guy is cheap af. Weed was bess though.

Nah i firetruck up there $300 is a good price for that, you'd be paying twice to 4 times that in Europe. I just got lucky I was getting top discounts on weed while in Paris, and the sort of confused ounces and grams. Might have been high when I typed that before.

[mero]

300 isn't the best price here for a half oz colo but it's acceptable when no one else has.. But Colombian is still technically sheit cuz we don't know wtf we smoking, the age and the journey that make. Still way better value for your money that what the local farmers calling

I encourage anyone with some disposable cash to buy Hg

@Daran €130 for an oz is still really good deal.

All the above information and maybe and

But MY THREAD is actually about..

Why does the PNM refuse to decriminalize ganja ?

And seriously debate it ?

Jail full of people who not suppose to be there but coming out harden criminals

[pete]

A pack of say plantain chips is around an ounce in weight and that's denser than weed. So yeah, an ounce is plenty.
