The manufacturing, selling and possession of Cannabis is illegal in Trinidad and Tobago.

History

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]

Decriminalization

In 2018, the head of the Caribbean Collective for Justice has called for the nation to decriminalize cannabis.[3] In December 2018, Prime Minister Keith Rowley stated that cannabis would become decriminalized some time in June 2019.[4]
