Am i reading this story correctly? You mean to tell me this person had that much cannabis in they possession and was only hit with a fine? If it was me, remand for six years, then jail after for another six. What kind of justice Barbados have going on?

It is amazing that this paper can get hold of what looks to me like a RBPF photograph.

This lady knows better but seems to be bold. On the other hand I hope the boys on the block found guilty of a similar crime will be fined and discharged. Fair is Fair.

Was it really hers?  Look how she ruining her job at her age when she should be saying it is not good.  Who you feel don’t do the things do it

25k fine for weed and discharged, one week remand for having a camouflauge shirt.

Justice for white woman, better than that for black men?

Why is she not in jail? This place is sickening!

wow! I am amazed, no mentioning of where this teacher teaches. Not only it is evident that she grows it but there was a loose quantity found, charged with traffickable amount with intent to sell and that is all she gets? What if she was selling to your child?  Come on Barbados, if that was a black sister, a rastafarian or any other who has previous drug charges we all know they would have received time in jail and a greater fine. How is this?

she should have been sentenced to 6 months in jail for this. How do you think it looks to her students now that she has been charged with a crime. She was supposed to be their role model. It makes you wonder now if she was also supplying her charges with any of this drug. that fine was a slap on the wrist for her.

If this was a black bajan, they would not have been given the option to pay a fine, they would have automatically been given a prison sentence.  This woman should be sent to prison for growing and possessing illegal drugs..

It is time that Ganja be legalized in Barbados. It is time that there is a real debate on this issue, and it must be done immediately. For too long we have been burying our heads in the sand on this matter. It is time that we place it on a referendum and let the people of Barbados decide, since the politicians are hiding like little children, under the skirts of their mothers.
We continue to overburden our police, judiciary and prison system with the senseless incarceration of ganja smokers. People are sent to prison for a ganja roach, pure stupidity on the part of our institutions.
Let us have a referendum on this matter of legalization now.

So what! You people don’t have anything better to do? Like solving crime catching hard core Criminals locking up corrupt officials things of that nature.

First, Mr Seale, congratulations on your elevation, even if it is temporary. Taking all these factors into account-cultivating in the front yard (not obscured from vision), trafficking, a stash in the house, and her her occupation, I think this fine should have been forthwith. In addition, like our little people with spliffs, she should have savoured the ambience of our palace in the east In other jurisdictions, her job would already have been a thing of the past. No good example for her/our students. I hope they were not in anyway the beneficiaries of these treats.

who are we to trying to destroy or control such a beautiful tree which god has created and put on this earth ?

Well, well, well, a TEACHER who should be setting an example. I really hope that she never used to be high in school beating up on the children.

Imagine this woman growing those marijuana plants in her front yard and still have a “loose” quantity in her house.

One thing I must say though, is that Ms. Gale is one brave woman.

Makes one wonder who is importing these big drug hauls into Bim. The Barbados media will have you believing that only young black men are using and dealing. WoW.

One of our late great PMs said “Poor people stay out of the law courts,  there is no justice for you”. I see people get remand for less. NO JUSTICE FOR THE POOR

Who is with out sin let them cast the first stone.

For all of you who are accusing this woman. How do you know it was her who was growing these drugs? There are lots of explanations for her taking the blame for this. Don’t make assumptions until you know the facts.

People in glass houses should never throw stones !

Smoking marijuana is no joke, I smoke this thing only but once at 17 years and it almost send me mad. You young people please take it from me don’t do it,and if you are stop it now. God call me to serve him and I am doing it but you know what, this thing damage me and today I can’t learn like before,it hinder you from going on in life. I still believe God to heal me and I am 44 years now.

Wow, this is truly amazing she has her thing going on, but what about our children for crying out loud, she is a teacher our children are supposed to be in her care six hours a day five days a week. She needs to be in jail. She is a total disgrace to our children and community on the whole

I think people in Barbados are
too colour of skin oriented and many very racist both black and white and it is a big problem .Furthermore the justice system in Barbados is a JOKE.
