The government don't even care about our health concerns and the use for it in medical practices. The main reason they are thinking about it, is to stop the drug trade, gangs and cartels in this country. If it is legalized then there is no use to hide and smoke it , no use to import it or export therefore breaking the ring! But i think if they legalize it, how our trini mentality is, people might start to commoditize another illegal substances because weed might be too "mainstream" and common.
There are also legal registered businesses that are known to the government according to A. Ramlogan that grows and sells weed etc. and their company might be affected by this, so to make money they might switch to other illegal substances thus creating a bigger problem.
A next thing is , what about stoned employees, and stoned drivers on the road and people doing crazy things in public.. Trini might be a chaotic place if this ever happened..Can you imagine how many accidents would take place and unemployment rate might rise due to people being layed off because they are too stoned to do their jobs..
