Why should the Guyana government APE everything the USA does? The government is still losing tax by the ”pushers” as the underground economy flourishes with the DRUGS trade. Why didn’t you ask if the POLICE kept any of these plants for themselves? There are so many rouge cops within the police force
The government of Guyana is loosing vital tax revenue because of its its ridiculous laws. It should implement new laws that makes it legal for adults to possess up to one ounce of marijuana. Some states in the USA have already legalized the use of marijuana, for example Washington state.
