The Jamaica Gleaner of Wednesday, May 1, has published an article, New Era for Ganja, that reveals an envisaged significant step towards the possible removal of the scourge of illegality, and worse, that have for decades, hovered over efforts to completely sanitize the ‘stain’ that has attached itself to what is commonly referred to as ‘ganja’. The Gleaner report alludes to a disclosure that the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), “will move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug,” a move which the report describes as “a historic shift to generations of American drug policy that could have wide ripple effects across the country.”
