    Jamaica is about to pop off economically when the United States legalize weed federally.

    Damn where @zombie at? You better get your cousins to step it up.

    This ain't really that big a deal. I wouldn't say traditional African cultures are woman run, but women certainly had more power than what we're accustomed seeing to in the West.

    Interestin' from a sociological point if view. The high percentage of men in crime allowed/forced the women to excel in education and business

    I think it'll be the opposite. At that point it will just end up getting factory farmed like tobacco, with corporations that get licensing for production and distro being the only ones that make real money off it. There will still be demand for "artisan" stuff I'm sure, but that won't need to be imported really.

    I also imagine a fair amount of Jamaica's tourism comes from it being known to Americans/Westerners as "weed friendly" which gives it a niche to compete with the other island locations. If the U.S. legalized marijuana then I think Jamaica would lose a lot of that allure to Westerners and while tourism will still be strong, it will be harder to compete.

    If America officially legalizes weed at the federal level, then scientist (by way of corporate interest) will corner the market and synthesize anything that isn't available here and work to destroy or condemn anything in demand that they can not synthesize (or acquire for "free").

    That's what you call copyright infringement and no american company can openly do it not on a natural product. Weed is not a pharmaceutical pill, you can't just synthesize it and still call it weed it will be something else.

    "It's almost as if manhood and masculinity have been hijacked by a thug culture far removed from education,"

    Hmmm this is an important statement.

    And big up every empress and clean hearted gyal in Jamaica love to see them prosper.

    I don't agree that the males are being led astray by the music. Dancehall artistes do not promote petty crime or the sale of drugs in their lyrics. Class discrimination is what they need to talk about, the yutes dem want to uplift themselves.

    This is all good and I am happy for these women.

    But you all have to realize that this only being done in these types of numbers with black people. This ? ain't but another way to further emasculate black men and drive an even deeper wedge in the relationship between black men and women.

    ? like this the reason you hear some black women screaming "I don't need a man" ? a boss at work she not going to come home and let a man who makes less than her be the head of the household like he should be.

    Lmao
    Bruh that song goes, for the female dancehall crowd. Slackness has always been in dancehall and more lines get crossed everyday/year.

    As zombie said we r more than balanced. Mad positive ish is out there sad rap isn't the same way where the positive songs can still be popular.

    dude... you do realize that's ? when there is evidence of warrior women tribes?

    you are operating on a rhetoric still steeped in white christian ideology.

    whites fear that ? you talking because their culture comes from oppressing their women to control the spread of STD's.

    think about it.

    rome was a certain way at one point and then Christianity took over and ? became more straight forward, everything had its place.

    you are doing nothing but repeating St Augustine's ? rhetoric.

    was a time we would have broke bread with a village like that instead of fear it.

    Why you talking about the past when I am talking about ? that is going on right now?

    Don't take that the wrong because I understand knowing the past is important but do you really think we need black women on some women's warrior tribe ? right now? Most so called black femenist don't even know what the ? they fighting or arguing for.

    You can call it rhetoric all you want but is white christianity not in power in America and Jamaica where this ? is most prevalent?

    You can call it opressing but they not having the same problems with their white ? as much as black men are having with our women.
