Jamaica to Legalize Personal Use of Marijuana Use

Jamaica is set to decriminalise the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use.

Portia Simpson Miller, Jamaica’s prime minister has decided to take this decision, in line with plans to amend the country’s Dangerous Drugs Act.

The amendment of the act would allow for the legal smoking of ganja in private places, as well as its use for medicinal, religious and research (by accredited institutions) purposes.

“Too many of our young people have ended up with criminal convictions after being caught with a spliff, something that has affected their ability to do things like get jobs and get visas to travel overseas,” said Mark Golding, Jamaica’s Minister of Justice.

The government also has plans to propose a bill to parliament that will expunge the criminal records of people convicted of possessing small amounts of the drug.

You people enjoy showing the FOOL that you are. Where does everybody in Jamaica grows dada? Is it that everyone in Nigeria is a BOKO HARAM? Is it that everyone in Nigeria worship their Men and Women of Gods using Witchcraft to receive what they have? Is it that everyone in Nigeria is a Yahoo Boy robbing others on the Internet? Is it that every married women is on the road in Nigeria because their husbands are not working enough and so they decide to be the MAN of the house calling themselves Women of Virtue?

When you answer these questions then you shall understand that your WONDER is not of Wonder but of imagination because the heart of men is desperately wicked. It have an evil imagination.

Before you go wondering out and showing the fool you are, why not wonder within instead and analyze things before you speak it. Remember always take the BEAM from your eyes first before you want to go and take it from another. Make sure you are SIN FREE before you start showing others their own Sins.

A fool is one who walks in darkness. Hugs
