Legalising marijuana would be wrong

Sep 23, 2013

KINGSTON, Jamaica - An edited portion of Government MP Dr Dayton Campbell's contribution to the debate in Parliament on the motion to legalise marijuana.
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.
