Commissioner of Police Mr. Vernon Francois, in a statement earlier this year, reiterated that cannabis remains an illegal substance on the law books of Saint Lucia. The island, Mr. Francois says will not be a safe haven for drug trafficking and, according to the Commissioner of Police, there will be no abating of efforts on the part of law men to ensure that this momentum continues.

The Royal Saint Lucia Police Force has undertaken a number of successful operations to crackdown on the cultivation of cannabis.
