El golpe se produjo menos de una semana despu\u00e9s de que fuera encontrada marihuana avaluada en US$700.000<\/a> en las islas Ragged, y menos de dos semanas despu\u00e9s de que 20.000 plantas de marihuana fueran encontradas creciendo<\/a> a las afueras de la capital del pa\u00eds: Nassau, se\u00f1al\u00f3 el Nassau Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Las incautaciones se producen en medio de un creciente debate en el Caribe sobre el estatus legal de la marihuana, siendo Ralph Gonsalves, primer ministro de San Vicente y las Granadinas el principal impulsor de una discusi\u00f3n<\/a> sobre la legalizaci\u00f3n y despenalizaci\u00f3n entre la Comunidad del Caribe (CARICOM); un debate que el grupo de pa\u00edses ha acordado investigar<\/a> y presentar esos resultados en febrero de 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/strong> Cobertura de las pol\u00edtica antidrogas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aunque por lo general no es una fuente importante de drogas para exportar, las Bahamas es un punto de trasbordo importante para la coca\u00edna y la marihuana debido a su proximidad con Estados Unidos. La naci\u00f3n caribe\u00f1a ofrece condiciones \u201ccasi ideales\u201d para el contrabando, seg\u00fan el International Narcotics Control Strategy Report (INCSR) de 2013<\/a> del Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos; ya que los narcotraficantes \u201cse mezclan f\u00e1cilmente entre la flota de embarcaciones de recreacionales\u201d que viajan a trav\u00e9s de las cerca de 700 islas y cayos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La vasta geograf\u00eda y la escasez de recursos hacen que la interdicci\u00f3n sea dif\u00edcil para fuerza p\u00fablica de las Bahamas. La Guardia Costera estadounidense ha cooperado con las fuerzas de seguridad locales para participar en la Operaci\u00f3n Bahamas, Turcos y Caicos (OPBAT, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s), que en 2012 llev\u00f3 a la incautaci\u00f3n de 236 kilos de coca\u00edna, 162 toneladas de marihuana y 201 arrestos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Llamados para considerar reformar las leyes sobre la de marihuana est\u00e1n ganando fuerza<\/a> entre las naciones del Caribe, sobre todo a ra\u00edz de la decisi\u00f3n de CARICOM para investigar la posibilidad de la despenalizaci\u00f3n. No obstante, con el gobierno estadounidense oponi\u00e9ndose a la reforma de la ley de marihuana a nivel federal<\/a>, cualquier movimiento hacia la despenalizaci\u00f3n en el Caribe probablemente consiga una considerable oposici\u00f3n por parte de ese pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La Polic\u00eda de las Bahamas ha recuperado marihuana por un valor de US$4
