The Jamaican government National Commission for Ganja recommendated that Jamaica decriminalize possession marijuana. The Ganja Commission's report is a decade old.

However government officials in Jamaica are now reviewing the commission's recommendations to decriminalize possession of small amounts of Ganja.

The report concluded ganja was "culturally entrenched" in Jamaica. The commission also said moderate use had no negative health effects on most users.

Any change in Jamaica's drug laws would have to be approved by Jamaica's Parliament.

Jay-Z will be battling clothing giant Volcom, as Volcom has filed a lawsuit against Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label due to infringement based upon usage of their logo. The diamond stone used in Roc Nation ads looks very much alike to Volcom’s logo, which has been trademarked since 1991.
