This document discusses Jamaica's decision to decriminalize and potentially legalize marijuana. It notes that a Canadian company signed a $100 million deal over 10 years to develop medical marijuana products with Jamaica. The document argues that decriminalizing marijuana for medical purposes was a correct decision and will benefit Jamaica through job creation and economic growth. It also notes that Jamaica is known for high quality marijuana and as a destination for marijuana lovers due to its culture and low prices.

2.  Legalization- make something or an act full permissible
by law.
 Gross domestic product (GDP) - is a measure of the size
of an economy. It is defined as the sum of all product
plus any taxes, and minus any subsidies such as
remittance etc.
 Decriminalization- Cease to treat something as illegal or
as a criminal offence.

3.  Going by the announcement by a Canada-
based company, Timeless Herbal Care Limited
(THC), as carried in the September 15 2015
edition of the Observer newspaper, Jamaica
stands to benefit from a US$100-million deal
to develop medical marijuana products for the
international market over the next 10 years.
This is massive news for ganja produced in
Jamaica.

4.  “Just maybe the Government's decision to
decriminalize ganja for medicinal purposes, a
preparatory step to eventual legalization and
development of the cannabis industry, might
prove to have been a correct one, from which
our people and country will benefit
substantially, beginning with job creation”.

6. “some of the world best
marijuana is from Jamaica”.

8.  “when you want sunshine and marijuana, you
probably think of Jamaica”. Land of Bob
Marley, with powerful outdoor weed selling for
less than $100 an ounce, no wonder marijuana
lovers have long flocked to the Caribbean to
get reggae ganja fun in the sun”.
