Grena­da's Agri­cul­ture Min­is­ter Lennox An­drews says be­fore the end of the sec­ond half of 2025 the Gov­ern­ment will bring leg­is­la­tion to the par­lia­ment that will de­crim­i­nalise the use of cannabis for re­li­gious and recre­ation­al use.

“We were hop­ing to have this done be­fore the end of the first quar­ter but right now I can safe­ly say that it will be done be­fore the end of the first half,” said An­drews who point­ed out that the leg­is­la­tion will be sim­i­lar to the leg­is­la­tion that the for­mer New Na­tion­al Par­ty laid in the House in 2021 but died a nat­ur­al death when the Par­lia­ment was dis­solved for the June 2022 gen­er­al elec­tion.

That Bill which was laid in the Low­er House for first read­ing by for­mer Agri­cul­ture Min­is­ter Pe­ter David, sought to de­crim­i­nal­ize the use of mar­i­jua­na and for any­one over the age of 18 to have no more than 28 grams in his or her pos­ses­sion for per­son­al use by amend­ing the Drug Abuse (pre­ven­tion and con­trol) Act.
