Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell believes the time has come for Grenada to reconsider decriminalising the use of marijuana and other forms of recreational drugs. “More and more we are hearing about countries who are placing less importance on criminalising the use of marijuana and other forms of recreational drugs but it’s an area we have to examine; maybe in a sense while we have one smoking a joint a marijuana is considered to be a criminal offense, we may have to examine to some extent that area of activity because we want to spend the police time in dealing with much more major problems than just having to confront one using a joint or two of marijuana outside,” he told a mass meeting of police officers.
