Jamaican officials have launched a campaign that\u2019s specifically designed to promote public education around marijuana\u2014an attempt to modernize how residents get information about cannabis.<\/p>\n
The centerpiece of the \u201cGood Ganja Sense\u201d campaign is a new website that provides resources and articles on marijuana\u2019s health impacts and benefits, seeks to debunk myths about cannabis and features multimedia education materials like this video with an exceptionally catchy jingle:<\/p>\n
\nThe Ministry of Health and Wellness officially rolled out the site<\/a> on Monday. The head of that department, Juliet Cuthbert-Flynn, said in a press release that it contains \u201cseveral resources that will certainly stimulate more talk about ganja.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe pages give a background on the campaign, links to media items and also connect directly to the website of the National Council on Drug Abuse,\u201d she said. \u201cIt has a contact form too, so you can get in touch with the \u2018Good Ganja\u2019 team.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are in a digital world where people are finding information for themselves, and the information may be false or it very well may be true, depending on where they go,\u201d Cuthbert-Flynn said<\/a>. \u201cGanja will no longer be underpinned by what has been passed down through oral traditions and old tales, but fact-based information that is now available at the fingertips.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
