The St Kitts/Nevis government says it is considering appointing a broad-based to examine the issues involved in the use of marijuana.

Prime Minister Dr Timothy Harris says his administration is ready for open dialogue with the relevant stakeholders on the issue of the decriminalization of marijuana, which he said was a matter of national interest.

“We have a submission going to the Cabinet hopefully next week where we are attempting to set up that broad based committee that would look at all of the issues involved in the use of marijuana and all other matters in relation to it,” Harris said on a radio programme in St Kitts.

St. Kitts: Senior health official wants marijuana legalised

Submitted by Marijuana News on Thu, 01/28/2016 - 08:33

Chief Medical officer Dr Patrick Martin said the legalisation of marijuana could have a positive effect on violent crime in St Kitts-Nevis.

"We have the evidence in health, in the security sector. In 2007 the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime produced a report titled 'Crime and Violence in the Caribbean', and I quote, 'Drug trafficking is the cause of the gun-related homicide'.

"Where there are drugs there are guns. The gun culture is everywhere. Can we bring it to an end in St Kitts and Nevis? The answer is yes, we are 50,000 people," said Martin, who was speaking on a programme on WINN FM on Monday.
