NASSAU, Bahamas — Opposition Leader Philip Davis yesterday expressed support for the advancement of legislation to reduce the length of time that convictions for small amounts of marijuana remain on criminal records, The Tribune reported November 19.
Mr Davis pointed to the devastating impact these convictions have on young men during a rally to mark International Men’s Day at the Western Esplanade.
The Progressive Liberal Party Leader and Cat Island MP said convicted youth are restricted to the outskirts of Bahamian society, adding the phenomenon has cultivated an underclass more susceptible to conflict with the law. http://www.tribune242.com/news/2018/nov/19/reduce-time-convictions-marijuana-stay-records-urg/
