DUDE! Jamaica makes the news, considers legalizing Cannabis

So the buzz (get it? LOL!) around town has to do with the recent news of Jamaica considering the legalizing of Cannabis, a.k.a, marijuana, weed and ganja (ganja appears to be a word from the Hindi language, LOL!).

More specifically, a link to an article from the The West Australian has made its way to the front page of Digg this evening and some of the comments are quite hilarious.

For the benefit of everyone out there in Internet land, I took it upon myself to wade through and retrieve some of the more interesting (and funny) ones:

"its about time. legalizing it will do wonders for its tourism based economy. it makes financial sense." [NOTE: Here in Barbados, our economy is largely based on tourism, too... ;-)]

"man, it might as well be legal there it almost falls out of the sky."

"I know where I'm going for spring break!"

"Dreadlocks - check
Back catalogue of Bob Marley - check
Passport - check"

"hahahaha, I always thought is was legal there. I guess it was a good thing I did not get caught when I was there last."

"Whoa.... it's not yet legal?"

"I read this thinking they legalized cannibalism. Pot makes soooo much more sense."

"That rustling you hear is the sound of hundreds of thousands of people in the US packing their bags for the last time."

and finally, how about this beauty:

"If you can't get pot in Jamaica you're retarded. It's EVERYWHERE. From the baggage handler when I stepped off the plane to even the tennis pro at my hotel was offering me it - AND I WAS A TEENAGER. Alert to authorities - POT IS EVERYWHERE and the only people in jail must have been trying to sell it to a judge...IN THE COURTROOM ...DURING A TRIAL...WHILE UNDER OATH....WHILE SOME "MORAL" TV REPORTER WAS PRESENT."
