Jamaica - Government Says Legalizing Marijuana Not In The Cards At This Time

[The General]

Although the Jamaican Government is being encouraged by foreign advocates and agitators to forge ahead with changing its laws to decriminalize marijuana for both recreational and medicinal use, Foreign Affairs Minister AJ Nicholson is suggesting that the country still has to proceed with caution in one area.

Nicholson told The Gleaner that the attitude of larger Western nations on decriminalization remains foggy at best, even as a Canadian professional signaled that the country would purchase marijuana from Jamaica, and United States (US) agitators urged Jamaica to add the weed to its famed tourism brand. "There is no consideration at this time about changing the treaties, but there are still some concerns about how some Western countries would view our move towards decriminalize, de-penalize or anything like that," asserted Nicholson.
