Jamaica Considers Marijuana Legalisation and Production

The Jamaican Cabinet has approved a bill that legalises the possession of small amounts of marijuana.

It means that for the first time the country’s Rastafarian community, which uses the herb for religious purposes, could be able to smoke it legally.

The bill also envisages a licensing authority for the cultivation, sale and distribution of marijuana for medical and therapeutic purposes.

It goes to the senate this week for approval.

The bill also proposes that the smoking of marijuana will be banned in public spaces.
