I think what we are witnessing is a gradual roll-out of legislation with the end game being legalization of ganja in Jamaica. Two of the most powerful people in Jamaica are spearheading this effort; Dr. Henry Lowe and Former PM P.J. Patterson. Dr. Lowe already holds a number of patents for Medical Marijuana and has a wide variety of teas and supplements already in the gear-up production stage.

Dr. Lowe with the legal assistance of P.J. Patterson has basically laid down the gauntlet to Mark Golding and the Jamaican Government to change the laws or he will take his multi-billion dollar production business to other countries who have a more enlightened view of outdated laws and restrictions. From my watching the process in Accompong Town, I have seen a pick-up in the pace of change. Dr. Henry Lowe has been in contact with several places in Jamaica to establish a medical marijuana processing plant and Accompong Town is one of those places.
Over 30 years time, I have seen change from the beating and locks-cutting of Rastafarians for minor possession to legalize possession of the same quantities. The tremendous monetary benefit to Jamaica from changing the laws and embracing cultivation, processing and distribution of these products is not lost on the Jamaican Government. It may take a little time to get there but it appears that sometime in a one to two year window, this may actually happen.
