Since the decriminalization of hemp in Miami,
many minor Marijuana charges have been
dropped or will no longer be prosecuted. Though
hemp has been decriminalized, public officials
have taken to banning the use of cannabis and
hemp in public, since hemp and cannabis are
practically indistinguishable. The city has opted
to make smoking cannabis in public a criminal
offense rather than using a civil citation system,
which could result in the arrests of more youth
and people of color. The ACLU, among other
organizations, opposed the new law because of its
criminal charges, claiming it should be akin to a
traffic ticket.
According to Miami Beach Times, “Under the city's
new law, anyone observed smoking cannabis,
hemp, or marijuana on a public right-of-way is
subject to a fine of up to $500 and up to 60 days in
county jail.” Before this the Miami Beach police had
no real precedent for dealing with public cannabis
consumption. Citing a specific incident, "During
Columbus Day weekend, we had an individual
that chose to stand on top of a police vehicle while
openly consuming marijuana," Miami Beach Capt.
Daniel Morgalo stated. "So had that individual not
been doing that — had he not been standing on top
of the police vehicle and breaking other laws — we
would not have a mechanism in place at this point
to deal with this specific type of behavior."
With Miami being such a party destination, it will
be interesting to see how it unfolds (and whether
or not they’d actually be able to enforce them) and
how tourists will react to the new laws.

Jamaican origin holding that blacks are the chosen FULFILLMENT & SALES
in Montego Bay, Jamaica people, that Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia was
the Messiah, and that black people will eventually
return to their Africa. Rastafarians have distinctive
codes of behavior and dress, including the wearing
of dreadlocks, the smoking of cannabis, the
rejection of Western medicine, and adherence to a
diet that excludes pork, shellfish, and milk.
Arguably the best-known Rastafari is the late Bob
Marley. The international music star introduced
much of the world to the tenets of Rastafari,
including the smoking of ganja, which the Rasta
consider a sacred spiritual act. The sacramental
smoking of ganja became legal in Jamaica in April
2015. While many Rastas choose not to cut their

The citizen-sponsored initiative prohibits growing
cannabis in residential zones, authorizes and
regulates medical marijuana dispensaries, and
limits commercial cultivation sites to industrial
and manufacturing zones with a permit issued
by the city. Opponents said the measure doesn’t
do enough to protect the community, while the
supporters said Measure U will provide oversight
and transparency.
