Guyana High
December 6, 2015 By GuyanaTimes
Satiricus was on a high. He wasn’t one for marching up and down in the streets – but on this cause he’d made an exception. Ganja Power!! That was it! There was nothing he could do about nuclear proliferation and such like. And if it was the age to “hug a tree” what better to hug a ganja plant? Over the years Sariricus had done his share of hugging such plants, even as he’d lovingly pruned and cleaned many of them!
And now, after all the fussing and fighting, it looked like the powers-that-be might just see the light and allow Satiricus to light up his spliff without worrying whether he’ll be a guest at 12 Camp Street. Frankly Satiricus couldn’t ever understand why ganja wasn’t legal. He rejected his friend Cappo’s explanation: “Budday!! When dem ‘Mericans can grow ganja, den dem guh mek am legal!!”
Satiricus wasn’t sure the Americans were growing the stuff… but they sure were spending a ton of money to keep it out of their country. In Guyana, the big man Rodee had said, “No way Jose!” when asked if he would make ganja legal. Satiricus had been disappointed. If anyone would’ve bought Cappo’s argument why ganja was still banned, it was Rodee. No lover of America, there!
But here it was… it was a new day and a new Sheriff was in town! Rum Jhaat! In the beginning, Satiricus wasn’t too sure about the new Sheriff. He’d moseyed into town with his eyes looking all over everything and suddenly decided to close all the saloons by 2am. “What a bummer,” thought Satiricus at the time, “that’s when they show the best movies and they refill the bowls with free peanuts!”
Anyhow, Satiricus was even more impressed by Rum Jhaat pushing ganja’s line. And he didn’t even smoke the stuff! Rum Jhaat was a Berbice Bush rum man. But Rum Jhaat was like that… even though he had spent millions in law school, he just loved to push other people’s causes.
Why! Just a couple of years ago, there was this mega Indian company that wanted a piece of the action in Guyana. And just because Rum Jhaat liked the look of the fellas that came to negotiate, he represented them FOR FREE! Imagine that!
And it was because of the Rum Jhaat’s backing that Satiricus just knew that bong also known as water pipe, billy, bing, or moof would soon be selling all over the land. He was a force of power in the new government. Imagine what an economic boost it would be, thought Satiricus. This might just be the crop to replace sugar.
As Satiricus thought about 150,000 acres of well irrigated and drains land under cultivation with ganja, he had a high without even taking a took!!

Why waste resources harassing the peaceful Rastas ? 

Leave the Rasta Man alone. Go after the real criminals in Guyana.

If they legalise ganja, there would be an increase in crimminal activity by the police. They would not be able to arrest people and plant evidence on them. There would be a huge loss of income for majority of them. The police are the real crimminals. They are a government subsidized crimminal group.

That's why they should legalize it and then use the income to ride the police force corruption and replace them with better paid cops in Guyana.

Legalization should go hand in hand with legal export opportunities. If it is purely for local consumption then it would have to be controlled and taxed.

It's a misconception to imply that ganja is only smoked by Rastas. ganja is smoked by all religions and cultures. Many of my muslim friends smoke the stuff since it is not forbidden in the quran.
