Government plans to discuss decriminalisation of marijuana in 2019

Government says legislation on the decriminalisation of marijuana will be brought to Parliament next year.

 

In the Senate this morning Attorney Genral Faris al Rawi said legislation would be brought to the Lower House in the first half of 2019.

 

He was responding to questions from Opposition Senator Wade Mark.

 

Mr. Mark wanted to know more about the stakeholders.

 

Mr. al Rawi said it included the medical and law associations.

 

 

He said his government plans to go to the public with the issue and he is hoping for Opposition support.

 

 

He said for far too long Trinidad and Tobago has been stuck in analysis paralysis on this matter and the time has come to dive in and deal with it.
