T&T approves bill to decriminalise marijuana

The Trinidad and Tobago Parliament on Wednesday night approved the Dangerous Drugs Amendment Bill as the first steps towards the island decriminalising possession of less than 30 grams of marijuana for recreational and medicinal purposes.
 
But legislators agreed to send the Cannabis Control Bill, which seeks to establish an Authority for the control of cannabis through a licensing regime, to a Joint Select Committee that will report back to Parliament by February 29.
 
Earlier, Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi, said the government had revisited a clause in the legislation that would have allowed four marijuana plants in households.
