Reported concerns in Jamaica that easy access to marijuana-laced snack foods could be putting the health of children at risk would appear to be doing nothing to stem that tide of commercialisation of the products, according to reports from the Caribbean Community member country.

A recent Jamaica Gleaner report states that stakeholders in the country’s western parish of St. James are concerned that the consumption of ‘ganja cookies’ among other popular marijuana-infused products could be drifting into the realm of becoming habit-forming among school children.
