LEGALISE CANNABIS, JAMAICA

Dear Editor,

I agree with the article about legalisation of cannabis. Yes, Jamaica
should legalise. Why allow the USA to dictate cannabis policies to
you?

Imagine the boost to tourism. Imagine herb smokers being on the same
side as the police and imagine how legalisation would take the
business away from criminals and put it into the hands of legitimate
business and the product being taxed and that money put into
education, better schools with more resources for teachers, etc.

Science is showing that cannabis is actually good for our bodies.
Smoking it is not so good, but it can be eaten or vaporised.

I am fighting to have cannabis legalised in my country, Canada. If you
are interested in truth go to www.norml.org http://www.norml.org and
