President of the Westmoreland Hemp and Ganja Farmers Association Ras Iyah is urging the Government of Jamaica to "align" with other countries to secure a slice of the international marijuana market. "I think the Government of Jamaica has a duty and responsibility to align themselves with other countries, because I know there are other countries, here in the Caribbean, in Latin America... that are against this big stick that America has over our heads that says 'you can do what I say but not what I do'," he argued.
