The manufacturing, selling and possession of Cannabis is illegal in Trinidad and Tobago.
History[edit]
In 1915 Trinidad created the Ganja Ordinance, by which all cannabis sold on the island was gathered into bonded warehouses and distributed only to sellers who paid a license fee, similar to the system found in Bengal.[1] Cannabis was banned in the islands in 1925.[2] In 2018, the head of the Caribbean Collective for Justice has called for the nation to decriminalize cannabis.[3]
