Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
PHILIPSBURG--Freedom Fighters Foundation finally had its day in Parliament on Tuesday to discuss the legalisation of cannabis for St. Maarten.
Foundation representatives President Roland “Ras Bushman†Joe, Dr. Jay Haviser, Dr. Dan Johnson and businessman Arun Jagtiani presented their plans to Parliament’s Justice Committee. They requested that Parliament organise a referendum and combine it with the elections scheduled in September. This way, the people can vote on whether they want to legalise marijuana or not.
Ras Bushman said in his opening remarks to the Members of Parliament (MPs) present: “Everybody is dealing with the marijuana issue all over the world. It’s time we come together with different experts. St. Maarten needs to deal with it and we need to start the discussion and this is the first step.â€
