Spreading The Good News Of Cannabis Through The Grow Jamaica Movie

By Elena McDowell


The foundations for the Grow Jamaica movie can be found in a book coauthored by Leeroy Campbell and Janice Campbell. Food, fuel, fiber and medicine are the four words that adorn the front cover of the text. They represent a summarized version of the co authors' exploration into the many benefits that the plant offers its users. The film makers essentially take this stance and create a motion picture version.

A film cannot exist without a cast and this one is no exception to this rule. A dynamic cast helps to spread the message which is essentially the value of marijuana. One of the authors of the text Leeroy Campbell is among the cast. He is joined by Oliver Samuels, a star player in Jamaica's acting industry and Stephen Marley a reggae star and actor who himself hails from fame with a Robert Nesta Marley (or Bob Marley) for a father.

Designed to spread the news about the controversial plant, the movie is a part of a comprehensive campaign to change the perception of cannabis from a negative to a positive one. The comprehensive promotion includes web-based advocacy, literary reviews. All of this is aimed at getting the island nation of Jamaica, and the world at large to give due considerations to the merits displayed by the controversial herb.

The use of Marijuana, which is known as cannabis and for the local Jamaican population, herb, is not legal on the island. This is typically a shocking revelation for many outsiders who have come to associate the island with smoking the controversial plant. There is a group of advocates however, who are encouraging the island's legislators to decriminalize its use.

The film's format is that of a realistic documentary and its format is designed to mirror the plant's diverse nature. It comprises snippets of humor and real life interviews gathering the thoughts of laymen as well as renowned scientists. Economists are also allowed the opportunity to share their opinions on the financial gains that the island stands to gain from capitalizing on the plant.

The thought provoking documentary lasts sixty minutes. For those who wish to view it at their convenience, it is also available in DVD format. This makes it easy for anyone who wants to use it at a group meeting or promotional event to use it. Those who wish to use it for educational purposes may also do so by using the DVD format.

The film's goal is to promote the plant and move the island one step closer to the realization of Dr. Campbell's dream revolution. Dr. Campbell envisions the day when Jamaican society has been so revolutionized that the plant is freely grown and used everywhere. This is of course dependent on the removal of social and legal restrictions that currently inhibit its use.

There is no doubt that the Grow Jamaica movie has the potential to positively influence the marijuana legalization campaign. The message that it conveys is bound to captivate even the most unwilling viewer. This is due to the fact that the producers take a holistic and multifaceted approach to the topic.
