Jamaica: NATIONAL COMMISSION ON GANJA
It is the view of the Commission that the punitive sanctions administered by the justice system to users of small quantities is not only unjust but is a major source of disrespect and contempt for the legal system as a whole. Moreover, the punishment meted out to such offenders has not had and is not likely to have the desired effect of a deterrent. Administering the present laws as they apply to possession and use of small quantities of ganja not only puts an unbearable strain on the relationship of the police with the communities, in particular the male youth, but also ties up the justice system and the work of the police, who could use their time to much greater advantage in the relentless pursuit of crack/cocaine trafficking.

A Review of The Forest for the Trees: An Editor's Advice to Writers by Betsy Lerner
On balance, I found this to be a motivational book; reading it impressed upon me that the best thing I can do to further both my career and my personal satisfaction is to continue to write things that I think are worth publishing and to seek publication for what I've written. I'm inclined to listen when Lerner, backed by the weight of her experiences as both poet and editor, admonishes: "Your job is to marshal the talent you do have and find people who believe in your vision. What's important, finally, is that you create, and that those creations define for you what matters most, that which cannot be extinguished even in the face of silence, solitude, and rejection."
