This is some serious weight of cocaine (2.2lbs)! We have seen what has become of Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico through this cocaine trade. With Legal cannabis is cocaine to be the new money earner in St Vincent and the Grenadines?
Humm! May God help us!

As Venezuela implodes and hunger spreads there some enterprising individuals may find that St Vincent and the Grenadines is rather like a plum, ripe for the picking. Should we be profoundly worried? Now is the time to ask Ralph!
