No matter where you stand on the debate regarding medical Marijuana
and the decriminalization thereof, a lot of people, are making a lot of legal
money, and that money is not from the original source … Jamaica.
Reports such as an article posted in The
Toronto Star indicate that if Jamaica were to follow the lead of Oregon,
Washington and Colorado state, and legalize medical Marijuana, they could
indeed have a billion dollar industry on their hands. Some estimate that tourism would increase as
people would travel from their home to JA to receive treatment that only authentic
green can bring.
That thinking has become the premise for the song “Free Marijuana” by Lovindeer. Produced by Rorey Baker for One Pop
Music, the song compares monies earned through the banana industry, bauxite
and tourism, and comes to the conclusion that by far, the most profitable is
Marijuana. Pree the lyrics: “here we stand / one and all / with our backs
against the wall / to the right everything’s so tight / price is out of sight /
to the left the IMF / them ah gwaan like them deaf / we need more foreign
currency / we need more foreign currency / can we get it from banana / bauxite,
tourism or sugar / but can it come from Marijuana….” Mercy!
