Gee Bnewb,I guess Captaind is UM a liar too ,right?

Fred,

That was a joke. My driver is my son Linston.

Gotta agree with Flip . . ., driver is a good choice, explain that you're a connoisseur and see what happens.

As far as quality, it is definitely there, you will have to pursue it.

Gerry,

According to the Tobacco Atlas, only 20.5% of the Jamaican male population smoke legal tobacco.

http://www.tobaccoatlas.org/products...e/males_smoke/

According to the Jamaican MP Dayton Campbell, "A third of Jamaicans have used ganja in any form and 30 per cent of Jamaicans have smoked marijuana with males reporting this three times more frequently than females.

Fewer than a half of reported users are current smokers of the product, but this differs between males and females, with a third of females and a half of males reporting current use. The most commonly reported frequency among current users is daily use, with 9.6 per cent of the population (approximately 50 per cent of current smokers) reporting this frequency and males almost nine times more than among females reporting."

So, according to a government Minister of Parliament, fewer than half of the 33% who have ever used ganja are currently using it at any one time. That would be about 16% for the casual user and 9.6% for the daily user out of all the people on the island. I would think that a Minister of Parliament has access to some rather accurate data, especially when presenting that data for the record in front of Parliament.

That is some 3 million people we are talking about. How many times have you been to places like Mandeville or Kingston?

So Gerry, Bnewb and Ackee ask a good question, where did you come up with your statistic that there are more smokers than non-smokers on the island at any one time?

And so it is absolutely clear to everyone, it is EXTREMELY NOT OKAY to smoke it almost anywhere. And even after ganja is legalized/decriminalized here, it will still be regulated as to where you can and cannot smoke. Just as cigarettes currently are...
