READ THIS RELEASE ..... I think it is very interesting.... I received this minutes ago

PRESS RELEASE:

To Whom It May Concern: I am Conrad Powell, Attorney-at-Law, running as the NDM candidate for MP in South East St. Elizabeth.

I have received strong support from many farmers in the area. Research indicates that there is a large market for medical marijuana as well as pharmaceutical products made from ganja.

for years now I've been saying that Ganja can save Jamaica. All of Jamaica's exports can be be bought from other areas like Mexico for cheaper prices. Jamaica's culture beauty and music is the only thing that seems to make money for the island. We need something else to boost the economy. Legalize it! I'm not even a weed smoker but it makes perfect sense. It will surely boost tourism if College and University students can come some place on their breaks and light up legally. We can also attract international investments for clothing designers to make Hemp cool Hemp clothing; trust me plenty of kids would wear the clothing and make it the coolest thing; authentic Jamaica wear. Tink 'bout it. Plus you would have a lot of other types of companies coming in because hemp can be made into so many other products. Factories would open, people would be employed, farmers would have a strong and easy to grow crop. Any boost in the economy would bring down the crime rate. I am sure there are negatives but they are far out weighed by the positives. Anyways at this point Jamaica needs to try something new. The dollar keeps getting weaker. We keep loosing jobs. The crime rate is steadily on the rise. Ganja can be the savior of Jamaica; LO IT!
