I don't think the closure of those prisons relates to pot in any way, but it's good to see that they're doing well for themselves.

Ok, so you think maybe its because mushrooms are legal and cocaine is also tolerated there?
As far as Jamaica goes, I'm not sure its as tolerated as you think. This is directly from someone who lives in Jamaica and runs a site about Jamaica:
"You don't want to be caught with it. You are liable to be jailed. True, the police are a lot more lenient these days if you have a only a 'spliff', but I would suggest you not have them use their discretion. I guess police can't venture everywhere, every time, so you will have some room to really "light up".
And by the way, the rastas, who are advocating it to be legal, do smoke it like crazy here! but they will not do it around the lawman. The rest of us don't really mind it."
