Use of Cannabis in Barbados
In Barbados, cannabis is illegal for recreational use, but is in high demand nonetheless. Cannabis is sourced from St. Vincent and Jamaica by local dealers who pool resources to buy consignments of the drug, transported by go-fast boats.[1]
Medical use of cannabis was legalized in November 2019 through the Medicinal Cannabis Industry Bill.[2][3] A second bill that was passed, the Sacramental Cannabis Bill, allows the spiritual use of cannabis by registered Rastafarians.[2][4]
