ONDCP Seizes Unclaimed CannabisAntigua St John's - A counter-drug operation at the VC Bird International Airport on Monday April 30 resulted in the seizure of cannabis weighing over 45 lbs, with an estimated street value of $187,440.

The Office of National Drug and Money Laundering Control Policy (ONDCP), in consultation with the Customs and Excise Department,  found the illegal drugs in an unclaimed bag which arrived on a flight from Jamaica.

No one has so far been arrested or charged.



A release from the ONDCP said, "Mindful that VC Bird International Airport is one of our major ports of entry, there continues to be collaboration among the law enforcement entities and agencies to ensure that our borders are better protected from being used for illegal activity."

There is NO way, any Government will ever stop the use of herb, weed, ganja, pot; call it whatever, it will never be eradicated from our culture.
The right and sensible thing to do is LEGALIZE and TAX de HERB...Money for the treasury (roads, schools, other micro industries and the list goes on and on and on.....)

smoke screen

look maybe they lost the receipt, so how about you let chef come and take it of your hands , as always it will be burned like all weed that is confiscated.
but not after it is rolled in some bamboo paper and burned in small quantities to prevent any smoke pollution. or better yet use it in cookies or such as a herb and spice. :-* :-*
All fun aside notice that the more weed is confiscated the more weed seem to be smuggled in or grown locally? Chef will ask out loud how does that work? what does it suggest???
And to IMF look how much tax money we are burning?? what are you going to do about all that money going up in smoke???
