// Definition
Jamaica's 2015 amendment to the Dangerous Drugs Act decriminalizing possession of up to two ounces of ganja and allowing Rastafarians to use it as a sacrament. Created a framework for licensing cultivation, processing, and retail.
// From the Episode
Discussed extensively during the Negril episode. The decriminalization changed the festival and tourism scene dramatically — ganja events like Stepping High Festival flourished. Marcus reports that licensing was being implemented but regulations for extraction and processing were still in a gray area. The panel discusses how Jamaica could become a major legal cannabis producer but needs proper regulation for extracts.
