Jamaica and Colorado appear to be vastly different, from their climate to the land masses but what draws them together is “Opium for the masses”. Today’s Opium maybe called Gangia or Pot either way it’s a way to keep the masses quiet. Denver has utilized legalization of this drug to be the panacea for all it’s problems from collecting extra tax revenue for the politicians pockets to “curing illness”, it’s their new wonder drug. Jamaica has kept it illegal in name only as its citizens openly sell it all tourist resorts. This way there can be a few extra dollars in an economy that is barely moving. They can also can insure that many of their citizens are so stoned that they see no problem, no matter how many problems those with clear eyes can see.
Please note I’m for the legalization of this and many illegal substances (with many tight controls) but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be wary of how many power might use it legally or illegally for their benefit. For a dopie society falls prey to dope while freedoms and opportunities crumble besides them. Legalization must occur to get the bullets out of dealing this drug but education must also occur so the ballots aren’t thrown away as well.
