BERMUDA is facing a constitutional crisis after the UK Government refused to give royal assent to a bill looking to legalise cannabis in the island nation.
The government of Bermuda is run by the Progressive Labour Party (PLP), which won a significant majority (30 of the Berdmudian assembly’s 36 seats) at a general election held in October 2020.
One of its flagship policies was to legalise the recreational use of marijuana – having already decriminalised possession of fewer than seven grams in 2017.
