Dangerous Drugs (Amendment) Act 2015

Well supported

Jamaican law effective 15 April 2015 that decriminalised possession of two ounces or less of ganja (a ticketable, non-criminal offence), permitted limited home cultivation, created a Cannabis Licensing Authority for a regulated medical industry, and allowed adult Rastafari and Rastafari organisations to cultivate and use ganja as a sacrament at registered places of worship; the outcome of decades of reform advocacy tied to Rastafari and reggae culture.
