3 St George residents are facing various drug charges in connection with 2 separate drug raids.
Shawn Patterson, 35 years, Biomedical Technician of Mt Rush, and Quincy Jones, 38 years, Farmer of D’arbeau, turned themselves in at the Central Police Station accompanied by their lawyer on Thursday, 21 May 2020 and were subsequently jointly charged with 3 counts each of Trafficking a Controlled Drug, Importation of a Controlled Drug, and Cultivation of a Controlled Drug.

These men are heroes, legalize!
Sorry. Too much!
You are full of wisdom Mr. Thomas. This is why so many of our people are dying, especially our young ones. They smoke and drink to much! Shame! Shame! Shame! They want to create a brainless society.
The effect of alcohol is worse than weed.. Why Grenada always have to get left behind..The Western world already decriminalize the use of marijuana, a natural herb…why smoking weed is a crime? Simply question! I don’t smoke weed but i can’t agree with the prosecution of weed smokers..
It’s the island man a little Herb is good for the body and soul!!
Tell that to a white or yellow fellow whom ran off the Taiwanese. They’re the only Caucasians that did commerce in Grenada the right way not the white way,
I used to get fresh shrimp from our local waters back in the day.
Jamaica has at least 15 local strains of ganja & Grenada Cripa hybrid is more like a invasive species.
My fellow Indigenous Grenadians this business of peddling poisons to our fellow Indigenous Grenadians has been and continue to be a fail project or profession for us.
It is time we get out of this fail project and profession and become a new people who are focused on constructive things that will be of value to us for generations and generations to come.
Poisons will not help us. Come on, my fellow Indigenous Grenadian, we can do much, much better than this. Let us stop this immediately and become a model, constructive, and productive people.
I wish the same efforts are put into arresting batters and sex offenders!
When grenada going to catch up on marijuana cultivation?
