It is troubling and puzzling to think that Indigenous Grenadian males and females believe they could solve the problem of joblessness or any other problem whatsoever by peddling substances designed to harm themselves, fellow Indigenous Grenadians, or Non-Indigenous Grenadians.
Peddling drugs or what we should be rightly called poisons has and continue to be a failed project for Indigenous Grenadians. It is time that we start considering a different type of project that makes sense.
Any Indigenous Grenadian who is thinking about getting on board this failed project should rethink that because the results have been and will continue to be same. The ones already in it should get out of it. It make no sense when you really think about.
Let us be a new people after this Covid thing ends. We should work diligently and tirelessly to build health, vibrant communities for our current and future generations instead of selling poisons to each other.
