Marijuana should most definitely be legalized in Jamaica

Marijuana should most definitely be legalized, not just decriminalized.

The plant itself is SO prolific throughout the island that it's just not practical for the government to pass up an opportunity to strengthen the economy.

Some of the poorer class rely on the plant because it is guaranteed to sell- both locals and tourists use, and tourism is one of its largest industries.

If the tourism and ganja industries worked in tandem, Jamaica could make a RIDICULOUS amount of money, because just the idea of a legal high would attract tourists, not to mention the beautiful beaches.

Amsterdam certainly makes its share of money, and while it IS pretty and cultural, it doesn't have the touristic flair that Jamaica does.

Don't get me wrong, marijuana is a mind-altering substance. But you never hear of anybody getting hurt while using it, and it's not addicting. It ISN'T worse than alcohol, and it is NOT more dangerous.

I don't know if this is any help...but those are my opinions. Does anybody know of an online petition we can sign?
