    Jamaica plans decriminalization of possession of small amounts of cannabis

    “Cabinet approved certain changes to the law relating to ganja (marijuana)”, said Justice minister Mark Golding.

    Plans are in the making in Jamaica for the decriminalization of possession of small amounts of marijuana. Among the proposals is that users of small quantities of the drug will no longer have a criminal record, and smoking of the weed would be lawful under certain conditions. However possession of cannabis would still be unlawful, though it would not lead to a criminal record.
