Jamaica is a Cannabis Paradise but Where Do They Fit in on the International Cannabis Stage?

In The Weeds with Jimmy Young sits down with M. Omari Jackson, a Jamaican ganga-activist who has been filming and reporting on the cannabis scene in Jamaica for years.  M. Omari Jackson has seen the explosion of capital and interest come into Jamaica in the early years and is now seeing these same international companies pulling the plug on their Jamaican operations.  What does he think of the future of cannabis in Jamaica on the international scene?  Can a small island with great weed be a major player in the cannabis space?  How does tourism play a role in the legalization efforts in Jamaica? Watch as M. Omari explains the current situation that Jamaica finds itself in right now.
