Dear Editor,
The debate about the good and bad of ganja and whether to legalise it or not has left the Jamaican Government wanting yet again.
The political leaders of this country continue to show that there is no serious planning for the future of this nation and all we want to do is go to the International Monetary Fund and celebrate about passing a test that has no effect for the poorer class.
Now look at the wide open door for ganja as a completely productive product, and up until this point in time Jamaica has yet to be out of the blocks for proper legislation to deal with the excellent opportunity.
Either true or false, the debate of the best quality and the highest grade, fact or fiction, would certainly benefit us. The Government couldn't even capitalise on the thought, so much so the regions with the 'lesser' quality are ahead of us.
Dr Henry Lowe has demonstrated to the nation the true way of forward planning. This gentleman has even demonstrated to us that not even our stupid local policies could stop his vision and he has made his investments overseas.
Over the years Dr Lowe has been sharing his research results and his knowledge of ganja, even to point out the fact that there are over 800 medical products that can be attained from ganja. This has left one to wonder what the Government has been thinking over this time. We have been left behind.
Come on policymakers, by the time you have come up with policies the whole world would have left you behind. Policymakers shouldn't have time to sleep at a time like this. They should be in Parliament trying to make up for the waste of time doing nothing. Yes, there are other emergencies, but if we are not making money then we can't help ourselves.
Dr Lowe is crying out to help his people, but our leaders are not listening. Government and other leaders should be working together to find ways and means so that we can get the production rolling; from the fields to the factories to the market (locally and internationally).
Just by writing I am excited. If our leaders cannot feel excited about this positive opportunity then something is radically wrong with them.
