Today around 7PM at the junction of Rt 30 East and Bee Lane there was a near-collision between a motorcycle and a small dark-colored car. According to a witness, the car made a left turn directly in the path of an oncoming motorbike. Even though there was no contact the move caused the bike driver to lose control, landing him on the ground several yards away. An ambulance carried him to a medical center but the extent of his injuries are unknown.
This week, a historic event will occur in the country of Belize. A referendum will be held to determine if Caye Caulker, a tiny but internationally popular island, should move forward with their proposal to legalize the controlled use of cannabis, specifically in regards to its medicinal aspects. According to Kareem Musa, Minister of New Growth Industries, the proposal would then move to the Cabinet, then to the House of Representatives, and finally the Senate. While there are many open-minded politicians and doctors in favor, there are also the churches against it. This weekend will see what Belizeans chose.
