Why Did the UK Just Block Cannabis Legalization on the Island of Bermuda?

Governor Rena Lalgie of Bermuda also announced that the UK’s foreign secretary had instructed her the refusal of royal assent so that the Progressive Labour Party’s Cannabis Licensing Bill could be passed, reports the Royal Gazette. Just in May this year, Lalgie had already reserved assent for the bill which prompted her to call for a discussion between London and Hamilton.
