A recent poll conducted for The Jamaican Daily Gleaner by an independent market research service showed that 64 of Jamaicans believe that marijuana smokers should not be arrested.
Nearly two-thirds believe those who cultivate marijuana for personal use should not be jailed while 53 percent agreed that an individual who cultivates marijuana for export should be incarcerated.
This latest poll follows the Jamaican Senate’s October 1999 unanimous approval of legislation establishing a commission to review and recommend changes to the country’s marijuana laws.
