The six Jamaican men who were charged with cultivating more than four acres of ganja in North Andros, Bahamas, were sentenced on Thursday to two and a half years in prison.
The ganja had a street value of US$2.5 million.
Leroy Douglas, Walford Reid, Jermaine Jones, Devon Simpson, Bruce Palmer, and Everton Palmer were arrested on Sunday.
The men pleaded guilty to cultivating ganja after the police raided the four-acre ganja farm and seized 25,000 plants and 20,000 seedlings.
Additionally, the convicted men, who had no legal representation in court, were given the option of paying a US$7,500 fine or spending an additional six months in prison.
The sentences are to run two and a half years on each count.
