A senior police officer in Barbados is warning citizens that while doctors can prescribe marijuana, they must however follow a stringent legal process and obtain the necessary permissions from the authorities.
Superintendent Anthony Warner said there is a common misconception about the role of law enforcement in interpreting legislation.
He told an audience during a panel discussion that the police are not responsible for interpreting the law but for enforcing it within the framework established by the state.
Superintendent Warner said while the possession of any amount of cannabis remains illegal, the amendment introduces a fixed penalty system for individuals found with 14 grammes or less.
