Blaze up di chalawa we likkle but we tallawa. Like Peter Tosh said "Legalize it." I hope the US don't try and mash dis ting up.

MR. PRIME MINISTER PLEASE FREE UP DI HERB NOW SO WE RASTA'S CAN MEDITATE IN PEACE AND GET RID OF DI EVIL DOERS.

Blessed

Its about Time, "We naw bow to Amerikka"
Columbia exports Cococa why we cant import fi wi natural resource 2????
Chat bout "more Hi Grade More Hi-grade more"

U should free di weed because man want smoke & naw stop smoke it. PLUS DAT WILL BRING MORE TOURIST. Imagine walking through di AIRPORT & coming to PINK CATTIE's WEED BAR.

YES this will make me come live back home NOW.... DREAMING DAT i'M FLOATING ON NUFF THOUSAND DOLLAR BILLS..........

but this was never acted on, since legislators then said it might infringe on US relations, and could result in Jamaica losing their US anti-drug certification.

HOW FUNNY IS THAT, IT SEEMS LIKE AMERICA RUN DI WORLD.

ME CANT WAIT FI GO A MISS PINKCATTIE'S WEED BAR FREE IT NOW MI DOCTOR TELL MI A DAT KEEP MI BLOOD PRESSURE LOW.

JA can tell America to f**k off. I think it would be a dumb thing to do. Free up the weed in America and good tings will follow. FACT - weed will neva be legal.

check and see who is the mass producers of the herb , thats right " America " . the only the jamaica would infinge on is revenues

legalize it.THATS RIGHT

every body a talk bout free up weed unnu sound dunce if them free up weed the the man them pon the corner wey a sell weed nah go mek no money again because nuff big cigarette company a go start sell weed cigarette and nuff a unnu wey a talk bout free up weed sell weed fi a living f***ing fools

well they might as well make it legal most jamaicans act like it is already... but it wouldn't have much value cuz every1 would be sellling it or growing it in their yard...but oh well...

Good God!
The country will go under if they legalize the herb
you think its good now? think what will happen when ganja free

Yes I herbs fe de nerves seen,yeah man legalize de herb mek we lick it till ah monin yuh know wah me ah seh ,Twaz de in de holly book an since den me licki it widout negitive effect me liv opright like a arrow down yuh mama Africa inna Kenia...HERBS HAFFE BON

LONGtime now dem fi free up di Herb

This anti-drug certification, America's way of controlling a beautiful place and people of colour. Just like Britain.
What is so annoying is this is happening and it is being allowed to continue.
As Tony Rebel said, how come Bob Marley (Jah rest his soul) pictures have a big spliff in his mouth, and yet if the poor man is caught with a spliff he has to go to jail for it.
I have been to Amsterdam a couple of times, there seems to be no problem with the open usage of weed. (well if there is, no one nah chat bout it)
How many foreign people come to JA to use this..
Also lets not put the blame on Rasta Man, cause they are not the only one's who use it, but the reasoning behind blaming them and trying to stop them from partaking is the world knows that Rasta Man will talk de truth, and Babylon cant control the people once the truth is being spoken.
I understand that there is a serious drug problem in the Western world, but let us not blame Jamaica for that, America and Britain need to seek their own back yard and deal and accept it's responsibilities of their own problems,
Jamaica is being used as an escape route, because Jamaica is not SHOUTING loud enough
Blessings to all for reading my ramblings, but it makes me vex

america can f**k off all i care!!!!

That is just silly, that of all the countries in the World in Jamaica the herb is illegal. Free up the herb, just take a look at Holland, how much people go there just because of that...
In fact it should be de-criminalized worldwide, alcohol is much more destructive on one's system.

all ises due unto di creata...di allmightee jah..rasta..far..i....him will mek it all possible...jus have faith...rastafari livity ah tek ova di worl....i tired fi lick di holy urb& haffi watch ove i shoulda...as if ini iz doin someting wrong...ini pray fi decesion makin...inna jah righteousness& path fi free us from captivity.

jah guide inna debate.

This discussion does not make sense. Why would you want to legalize the biggest moneymaker for a country. Without the sales of this so-called illegal drug where would some of us be as far as finances. If this is legalized what would most of my friends who are illegal in America do? I have never smoked and I never will but I have heard of the medical benefits of using Marijuana. I hope its never legal it makes no sense .

YES I agree
legalise, decriminalise and see how much tourist visit just fi burn it without people trying make you feel like a criminal, just like how many people from London visit Amsterdam for weekend on a regular basis just to smoke a legal sliff.
America don't like import, worst if him can't tax the product.

G-- stop di dunce man shellfish argument, the reason why weed isnt legal is because the rich farmers, especially in the US control di business. Legalization, will mean less weed sellers on the corner in Jail, more food for their family. And it wouldn't mean everyone everywhere can just grow and start to sell weed. Alcohol is legal do you see everyone brewing beer, and wine or making rum? It up to di ppl who a sell it now fi establish dem name and brand dem product. So noh come wid dem idiot argument bout if weed legalize dis man n dat man aggo loose. It is a f**kin plant the United States shouldn't have made it illegal in the first place, and force di rest of di world to criminalize a fucking plant. Check how many millions of ppl in Jail and dead because weed illegal, how much pickney future mash up because dem father deh jail fi sellin weed, how much yute get kick outta school bacause dem get ketch wid weed. the legalization can only mean bigger and better tings for Jamaica, that is if we realize that the United States is not looking out for the interest of Jamaica or Jamaicans. Why should we assist the USA in fighting a plant which is the number one money crop in Jamaica, while they are simultaneously destroying our banana industry?

P.S Monopolies never benefit the ppl,they benefit the few who control it. Thus the Rich people with the connections at the airport and the warf are the ones making the big money off the weed selling, legalizing weed would jeopardize their control of the flow of weed money. The flow of money would be in the pockets of more ppl who need it. And the little dealers who feed their families by selling it, wont have to risk Jail or having police tief dem stash. As Peter Tosh seh legalize it. And mi naah aproach it from a money making standpoint, my position is that ganja is a plant and no human being should have the right to criminalize a plant, especially when it has so many benefits.

The truth is an offense, but not a sin.-Bob Marley
Mr.Prime minister think about this deeply. It wont be legalized cause of what?!!!!! Infringe on U.S.. I was born in america and never knew that was the reason why. Infringe on U.S.. Tell U.S. go sock out it WHATS IT NOT!!!! I CANT BELIEVE IT !! All these years so much money could of been made. So many lives could of been saved. Jamaica will be and always be a disgrace to its people, if this is not overturn. Yes, Jamaica needs aid, but so does St.Louis, Newwark,Philly and almost the entire state of new mexico. The little they give them what good it serve. Instill the need for education the need for doctors the need for herbal medicine in your people. You will have taxes commercial commodity, like cigars, spliff cigs, or zigs. Tourism you couldn't hold them. Hemp industries. Do all Columbians sniff coke? No, ( they might have tried it ) But not as bad as hollywood in one weekend. All Jamaicans dont smoke cigars cigs or drink. To close, Wake up my people !!!!! America needs relief themselves. So dont think your getting much of anything, but mind control. Its what they did to black people for years. They demoralize black people so much. Oh you need help or food stamps you make to much money. if you loose your job come talk to me.
Oh you still need food stamps and somewhere to live now. Have two kids i might can give you something. Oh you have to kids now, but your baby father is a problem.He makes to much. Loose the father have two more kids and then come back. By time you take a stock the mother got for kids in the projects with no hope, kids grow up same way. Grand kids same way till you have baltimore, south bronx, newark, philly, st.louis conditions; the list goes on.
THIS OVERTURN WILL MAKE JAMAICANS MORE INDEPENDENT THAN INDEPENDENCE ITSELF- BRONXMON

Does it REALLY make a difference? people have and will always continue to smoke it whether it's legal or illegal.

There are so many disadvantages of smoking ganja.

Mr Prime Minister please tell Mr G.Bush: " go sock unuh mu**a " !
America is only oppressing the third world, low di poor ganja farma dem.

Herb a di healing of the nation, Bible says in the geneses that jah gave us all the plants with seeds to use.

Gandja a di tree of life , herb of wisdom.

Free di Gandja and nuff nuff tourist a go come, allow poor farmers to grow at least 2000 marijuana plants per crop and JA will be the richest country in the caraibes in 10 years.

Don't bow down to amerika AKA BABYLON the GREAT WHORE !

FULL TIME THEM FREE UP DI WEED

i agree the U.S puts too much pressure on the world. but as the article says Canada allows medical marijuana and so does about 11 or 12 states. if the jamician people want something done they mush pressure their government into doing the right thing. which shouldnt be hard since the majority are pro-legalization. get active, write a letter, run for office, start a petition. do something dont blame others for your problems work hard to change them

"FREE UP THE HERB"

RIGHT YAH NOW A MEDITATE MAN A MEDITATE......EYES BLOOD RED AND A HAIL DI KING......SUH YUH KNO WEH MI SEH NOW.......LEGALIZE DI HERBS AND LETS BURN IT TO JAH JAH.

REPPIN JAMAICA ERDAY IN THIS MAF**KA.....MI SEH T.G. STAND UP.

As an American who has been to Jamaica a few times and loves the people and culture, if you guys legalize it, it won't matter what sanctions the US gov't. throws at you; your tourism rates will go up at least 10,000% and your country's economic problems will be solved over nite. Jamaica will become one of the richest per capita nations in the Western Hemisphere. Low di herb!

tell me. why do we want this to be in the hands
of the government. aka straight edge people.
given no talent, no experiance with the herb.
do we want it in stores?
do we want it on shelves?
do we want it to be taxed,
or watered down, or sterilized, or enhanced?
i dont. i dont want to have my weed
handed to me by some pimple faced straight edge
dork behind a counter. that is puposterous.
i am dumbfounded to hear of true stoners wanting their pot legalized. huh. it shows the sheep
from the man.
to get weed from the same place as cigs.
what were cigs before the government?
tobacco. now, rather, its a little tobacco,
and somehow 250 other chemicals that arent neccesary.
how do thoes get in there, without question?
the government. how does it stay like that?
the government. why doesnt that change?
the government. they say were the government..
but untill the machine is gone. there will always
be machinists, keeping the system working, running.
i say, keep pot illegal..
id rather fight, for what is right.
not throw down my arms because they made an
arrangement.. because most of the peope in my
country frown upon it, because most people
(cops) wanna take it away. well the cops are wrong.
the system has failed.
and i wont stop fighting.
if you guys wanna bail out on me.
then god help you. in whatever way he can.
but the thing is, is that you gotta keep fighting.
or else, all thats good in this world will fade to black. again and again and again.

c'mon friends.
brothers, sisters,
aquaintances and prophets,
lets live.

jamaica, do not follow our path to self destruction.
north america..

is doomed.
the machine, is taking over.
soon, we will all be machinists
running our own life.

but i dont wanna run my life.

i want whatever creator, to
make me what i must be, to understand.
