20 Years in a Cage for Possessing Forbidden Plants

According to a recent report an accused, 62-year-old Dennis Sandy alias ‘Bow’ of Lowkie Trace, Penal was ordered to serve a 20 year prison term after being found guilty of trafficking marijuana in 2007 — four bags — with a street value of $.5 million.

Justice Rampersad justified his sentence on the grounds that the judiciary must send a clear and unambiguous message to persons of like mind, that marijuana trafficking is detrimental to society.

What the Justice has failed to realize is that is by his very judgement he has all but destroyed Mr. Sandy's life, and severely damaged his immediate family; while at the same time placed a further premium on the price of marijuana, thereby making the drug trade even more lucrative and attractive.

Instead of the installing the most suitable and cost effective road restraint system the Ministry of Works has opted for the most ineffective and most expensive option so that they can line the pockets of their political cronies.
