What would be a good model for Jamaica? Any ideas? When I think and worry and fret about how could Jamaica do much better, and I look at other countries that Jamaica could model... I don't see much out there really. BUT, Jamaica is world famous for Bob, for being cool, for marijuana. Even now in 2007 the docs still arent saying it is bad bad. No one is saying that it is worse than alcohol... or even worse than all those "legal drugs".

Anyway, I think Jamaica should legalize it. It would be good for Jamaica on many many levels... I think. The whole world would talk about it. Land values would spike up. Rastas would pump up and stand up perhaps to certain elements... Export of course would be illegal, but growing and possessing in Jamaica would be all right. Hopefully even trying to export would be recognized as disrespect to Jamaica, and really discouraged.

And it would be a finger in the eye to Uncle Sam, and all of the fear mongers who would control every little thing that goes on.

Yuh mussi mad!

Do you think the people who are in the export business care about anything other than their immediate income?

Do you think "sticking a finger in Uncle Sam's eye" will be beneficial to Jamaica in the long run?

Do you think legalising ganja would increase the amount of tourist arrivals in the country? Those who smoke already come anyway, and those who don't might be put off.

It nuh have nuh benefit in dat deh idea at all.

Re: Portia Says

I guess you are right...

I believe that eventually it will be legal in many states in the US... or not illegal, or unpunished for users or small growers. And that Jamaica, all ready famous for their weed, music, and cool, could get the jump on most of the world, get a whole heap of cheerful press, and yes, sticking their finger in Uncle Sam's eye over this issue may have a positive payoff.

Re: Portia Says

I don't forsee that happening in this administartion or the next.

But maybe there's some truth in what you're saying.

Re: Portia Says

Legalizing ganja is not the answer to JA's economics. I think they need to start exploring the medicinal uses of the plant and start build up and market more natural methods of maintaining good health. Of course this may not be seen as a fail safe way to make money flow. However, further research will help them find ways to make good use of the plant. Kinda how Coca Cola uses coke to make their beverages. Ganja tastes good with rum...? why not try a ting?

Overall, JA needs to be talking to other Caribbean countries who do not have any US involvement. Staying away from the US should be paramount. But I can already see sey dem a try link with the US to help build up the economy.

I also think that JA MUST unify the people who live there first and then mobilize for change.

There are a number of medicatios that have been developed,and cavailable comercially,except in the US where the use of any meds from the plant is forbidsen unless special authorization is aquired fom the ferderal government.

..And there are no Caribbean countries that has no Us involvement. Even Cuba has the world's lartgest illegal prison run by the US there.
